The easy way around that is to install Pidgin and set it up to use a socks5 proxy in the Pidgin configuration menu. That means disabling the built-in telepathy-based chat stuff, sadly. That's what I was doing, but I missed the integration.

The other thing to note is that Skype really doesn't need to be socksified, since it is end-to-end encrypted.
