There should be some conditions skipping removal on "must_keepalive" or
"proxy_keepalive" flags in there.

I would expect pinning to be in effect at this point. If not that is a

at minimum.

Yes "Proxy-Authenticate:" will not work in transparent mode. There is no
reason why "WWW-Authenticate:" with the origin cannot.
