Sadly, it does't work. Here is why:
1089246525.683 19 192.168.9.133 TCP_DENIED/400 1523 GET /debian//dists/sarge/Release - NONE/- text/html

I believe the request should look more like this one:
1089244466.030 5705 192.168.9.114 TCP_MISS/200 6909 GET http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl? - DIRECT/205.156.51.200 text/html

Take care reading that, broken/wrapped lines.
The host: header is pretty important, it will not work with named virtual hosts without it. This would prevent me from installing from my local mirror, even if it had the installer in it.
I'm not sure whether the host name in the URL is essential, but in my explorations (some years ago, before named virtual hosts were common) it was harmless.
I think I can work round it by configuring one of my Apaches appropriately.
d-i really should be talking http 1.1: this is 0.9 syntax.
