Given that squid already has a patch, although only for newer versions, this really seems to be a squid bug. As such it should be fixed in squid as not only apt might trigger the problem. That said setting the Pipeline-Depth to 0 as default or when a proxy is configured might be advisable. Adding a apt.conf.d sniplet to the stable apt should be a trivial change. Much simpler than fixing squid itself. And in testing/unstable one can fix it properly or update squid to 3.0.
