I think it is the TOR involvement, I have heard a number of issues
between TOR and Google. But so far very few of simply being behind
Squid. It would have come up a lot more often if simply using Squid with
many clients was an issue.


TOR is a product based around anonymity. Google is a company whose
business model hinges on tracking users. "... and never the twain shall
meet" etc.

The necessary info is embeded into Via and XFF headers a required for
the HTTP part of the journey. There is nothng more Squid can do without
severaly compromising users safety. Further anonymising (ie removing Via
and XFF) makes things a bit worse as the non-TOR users of the proxy get
dragged into the issue.
