As much as that's not ideal, if the proxy is actually using HTTPS and verifying the upstream certificate then I don't think it breaks the user's security expectations too badly. But CloudFlare also offer a mode where they will serve HTTPS to the user but connect to your upstream via unencrypted HTTP over the public internet, which I think is just shockingly awful compared to what a user expects a site that uses HTTPS to do.
