 It's a client problem. It's not eating your bandwith from Squid
to the Internet, as squid will not 'process' invalid requests.
It does, indeed, consume Intranet networking resources.

Squid only reports bogus requests. Solving the action means
intervention at the client and or making the client not squid.

You can however set,
  
  log_mime_hdrs on

in squid.conf. To possibly further identify these requests.
