I wasn't clear about the condition I had: does the unexpected behaviour happen on the same machine (not only same OS, but also same configuration, same network layout, etc)? If so, it's most likely a bug. If the results see are on different servers (even with the same OS) then a server difference is the most likely cause.

We developers try our best to ensure that the quality is the best in all parts of Squid; unfortunately we can't afford the effort to test each and every feature on each OS and each network layout. We rely on the user community to notice and pinpoint as much as possible those issues; this cooperation is what makes Squid (and F/OSS software in general) viable and - in fact - so good.
