I should have added, that squid does support FTP proxying using one of hacks 
I mentioned (I haven't tested it yet).

And, since this requires other (FTP) protocol than the default (HTTP) at the 
proxy side, people free to configure it on random port they choose.

FTP proxying is so rarely used that it doesn't even have common port besides 
21 used for FTP.
