You are using a Perl helper to Squid and your perl is somewhat confused
due to your system using UTF-8..

Add LANG=C to the script starting Squid, or wrap the perl helper(s) you
use similarily.

Not entirely sure if this message indicates problems or not, but I prefer
to have things running in a manner that you do not need to worry.
