The problem is what that parent proxy is doing with the requests it
receives. The cache_peer with "originserver" option sends origin-form
URLs, the other sends absolute-form URLs.

By delivering them to port 80 you can expect it to automatically
re-write the URLs back to the http:// scheme. Which fixes some safety
issues broken by your re-writer - by undoing what your re-writer is
trying to do.
