Did you use all of the Squid options which are required to make
transparent proxy work? You need *all* of these in your squid.conf:

 httpd_accel_host virtual
 httpd_accel_port 80
 httpd_accel_with_proxy on
 httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

These are also compatible with a browser-configured proxy - which is
convenient for testing - but they are required for transparent proxy.
