You can easily install a dedicated squid box (not a pfSense box running squid) in your network and accomplish the same goals.

Seems you may be on to something. I have removed Squid and what was a very re-producible issue doesn't _seem_ to be happening. I had thought about that but dismissed it as it was affecting ICMP/Ping, TCP/FTP and other traffic which I didn't think squid would interfere with.
However now I have another problem, It's most important to have the security 
but squid saves us hours of time and gigs of bandwidth a day by caching updates 
for all the PC's that come through our workshop. Really could do with it 
installed and still have the intended security. I guess I could have a second 
PFSense box caching within the workshop segment but it shouldn't be needed.

Situation:

I have a simple PFSense setup with a single PFsense 1.2.2 computer, 1 WAN
interface, and 2 Local interfaces - one named LAN (10.0.0.0/24), and the
other is Workshop (10.0.1.0/24).  We have allsorts of computers including
infected PC's connected to our Workshop interface so there are firewall
rules setup only to allow internet access from both Local interfaces and on
the workshop interface a some simple rules allowing things like FTP access
to our fileserver on the LAN interface. We want no other access between
subnets. We also have squid installed in transparent mode listening on the
Workshop interface only, lightsquid,

If you uninstall squid does it change?  If traffic isn't getting
logged and you have logging on all your firewall rules, squid has to
be picking it up. There are a number of potential consequences of the
squid packages, this may be one.
