OK, here is the answer:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-11.html#ss11.15
This message was received at squid-bugs:
If you have only one parent, configured as:
cache_host xxxx parent 3128 3130 no-query default
nothing is sent to the parent; neither UDP packets, nor TCP
connections.
Simply adding default to a parent does not force all requests to be sent
to that parent. The term default is perhaps a poor choice of words. A
default parent is only used as a last resort. If the cache is able to make
direct connections, direct will be preferred over default. If you want to
force all requests to your parent cache(s), use the never_direct option:
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
never_direct allow all

If you'd like to make a contribution, split up template-begin into
appropriately sized and named chunks, based on up to date examples, and
send it back as a patch.
Thanks for pointing out the problem.
