OK, "target is not being changed" is not necessarily the same as "bypass 
the url rewriter" or "ignoring url_rewrite_program" or "not using the 
rewriter program"; there are still several open questions:

1. Does Squid ask rewriter to rewrite CONNECT target?
2. If yes, does rewriter actually rewrite CONNECT target?
3. If yes, does Squid use that rewritten CONNECT target?
4. If yes, why is using rewritten CONNECT target not enough
    (to accomplish whatever you are trying to accomplish)?

Please keep in mind that we know almost nothing about what symptoms you 
observe and what exactly you are trying to achieve...
