This is fixed in Squid-2.5 to ensure the browser can not get fooled into
what looks like a successful NTLM login.

It is not a proxy error, is is a protocol violation by Microsoft NTLM
authentication not working with HTTP compliant proxies.

In transparent interception you have to configure blacklists at yuur
interception point with a list of destination IP addresses known not to
work with the proxy.

In normal proxying this is best done using a proxy pac script, where you
can create a rule maching exacly what you say above.
