I found it listed in 3.0PRE3 bugs, here is the link that I found, it is listed 
as fixed.

http://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Unix/Proxy/Squid/Versions/v3/3.0/bugs/index.html#squid-3.0.PRE3-accel_cache_peer_name

However, this exact problem was occurring I would have never gotten out, I 
discovered since taking the name= option off that it was apparently just 
occurring less often.  Maybe just a coincidence, that it got better when I 
changed it.  I have changed the rule back to IP address to see if it continues 
without error over a longer period of time.  I have ruled out any network 
connection problems being the cause (at least on my end).  Let me know if there 
is any debug options I should enable to give you more information.

Very Odd..

is there an open bug report on this?

I don't see any trace of this happening from reading the sources. There
is a very clear distinction between host and name.
