Have you tried the patch which has already been made available to silence
most of the harmless cases of this warning?

Any meaningful examples?

The excess data message is just a warning, it doesn't make Squid behave
differently from before except in some rare corner cases where it stops
deliberate cache pollution (this condition is very unlikely to happen due
to accidental server bug).
