This is a known bug. There was a pull request fixing it in master/v7[1], 
but it was decided that it is best to remove IDENT support from v7 
instead of improving IDENT code. I think it was the right decision.

Squid v6 still has IDENT support. I cannot offer an official fix for 
Squid v6, but I know that the following _unofficial_ patch applies to 
the latest v6 sources. I have not tested whether that patch fixes the 
bug in v6.

Unfortunately, Squid Bugzilla notifications are unreliable. AFAIK, I 
have not seen your bug report[2] until now. Sorry.
