2.1.PRE4 contains almost all of my proxy_auth related patches.

No. Squid does not support user groups at this time. The closest you can
get is to use multiple proxy_auth ACLs.

acl group_staff proxy_auth "/usr/local/squid/etc/staff.group"
acl group_student proxy_auth "/usr/local/squid/etc/students.group"

http_access allow group_staff
http_access deny bad_sites
http_access allow group_students

The downside is that Squid needs to be restarted when you change the
group memberships.
