I thought it has already been concluded the server is broken and sending
"odd" HTTP status codes in certain conditions.

Exacly why the server is broken is unknown, but it looks like they are
running some modified version of Squid as reverse proxy infront of their
server, and this sometimes rejects requests and sending bad status codes
when doing so.

So in other words, the odd HTTP response codes you see in your logs is
real, in the sense that this was the response code given by the web server
to your Squid.
