Still with symbols erased so I cant see what is going on :-(

("HackXBack" is having a very similar set of issues, but on different
traffic)

Doubtful, 4206 patch was only affecting the tunnel.cc code handling for
CONNECT payloads. Your assertion is in client_side.cc

FWIW, the sponsor of that patch is happily running a 3.5.2 snapshot in a
very busy production system (~975 RPS at peak) with no problems reported
to me since it went live.
 We did find and fix a few of the other bugs that are patched in the
snapshot to get it to that state though. So if you are having problems
with the basic 3.5.2 bundle the latest snapshot may be worth a try as well.
There are also some patches in squid-4 that I'm due to be backporting in
the next few hrs related to worker security permissions (being denied
when they should be allowed), and PID fiel issues
