This was the problem. Turn this off and it works as expected.

Maybe this should be added to the FAQ about transparent proxies
(http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-17.html)? That is, change this:

4. Configure Squid to accept and process the connections. Finally, you
    have to change the Squid configuration settings to recognize the
    hijacked connections and discern the destination addresses. Here are
    the important settings in squid.conf:

              http_port 8080
              httpd_accel_host virtual
              httpd_accel_port 80
              httpd_accel_with_proxy on
              httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
