Why should this be a bug?

Squid is simply informing you that someone made a request with an header
longer than 20k. As the /etc/squid/squid.conf states about
request_header_max_size

  This specifies the maximum size for HTTP headers in a request.
  Request headers are usually relatively small (about 512 bytes).
  Placing a limit on the request header size will catch certain
  bugs (for example with persistent connections) and possibly
  buffer-overflow or denial-of-service attacks.

So this is probably a buffer overflow or DoS attack against some web
server through your proxy. And squid denied it.
