There are other rules where I have asked similiar questions and not been able to ascertain any better answer than I can give you in this case. I believe that sometimes the people who wrote and playtested the rules already knew how the rules were intended to work and so did not consider how the rules would appear to those who did not know how they were intended to work and thus in some instances failed to adequately clarify them.The sentence after "Most mithral armors are one category lighter than normal for purposes of movement and other limitations." says "Heavy armors are treated as medium, and medium armors are treated as light, but light armors are still treated as light.". This sentence does not have a qualifying clause like the preceding one while it most likely is meant to clarify the meaning of the previous sentence and the fact that light armors still count as light it does clearly state that a medium armor is treated as light. I take this and the oddity of not counting penalties as limitations to mean that medium armor is treated as light for proficiency.Maybe "medium armors are treated as light" means only with regard to movement and other limitations and the penalties associated with proficiency do not constitute a limitation but I have a hard time seeing that.</blockquote>
