Obvious question: what changed?

Except the fact that requests are being responded to with a 200 instead
of a 403...

Sadly the logs don't reveal what configuration file is actually being
used (is that a debug option?), so not much is going to be gleaned from
the logs. You can see the current running configuration (if you have
specified a cachemgr_passwd), or might try explicitly specifying the
conf file to use when you start Squid (if you aren't already).
Otherwise, you can increase the debugging on ACL processing ( as seen in
the FAQ entry:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl#head-57ab8844e9060937c4a654e1aa7568f87cb25aef)
and see if that gives you any clues.
