Currently the proxy authentication forwarding mechanisms in Squid is
utterly flawed.

What should be done is that the current "forward unless used locally"
mechanism should be ripped out, and instead a cache_peer option should
be added. This also partly applies when doing www-authentication in
accelerators.

Search for PROXY_AUTH in http.c, and you will notice the flawed if
statements I am talking about.
