It is still working for me.  I believe you are misunderstanding shell
wildcards.

/proc definitely SHOULD be in that list because you explicitly told du
so travel down the /proc filesystem.  The -x option instructs du to
avoid leaving filesystems when traversing down from named arguments.
You named /proc as an argument and therefore du must traverse it.  But
with -x du won't leave /proc for a different filesystem.

You can verify the options that you have given du by using echo.

Example:

  echo du -s -x /*

Note the /proc in the list.
