If tinyproxy can receive 'transparent' proxy connections, and
  can be configured to send all requests via an upstream
  proxy...  Then yes =).

A quick install of tinyproxy 1.8.1 to test shows that:-

$ telnet localhost 8888
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0
HOST: www.debian.org

WORKS... I.e. it accepts transparent-style-proxy as well.
It clearly has parameters like "upstream" in the tinyproxy.conf
  -- i.e to tell tinyproxy "please send via this upstream
  proxy".  Hopefully, when doing that, it converts the URL
  in the request so it actually looks like
  GET http://www.debian.org/ HTTP/1.0
  [i.e. {browser/proxy}-proxy style].


It looks like Openwrt has a copy of tinyproxy package built
  for you so you ought to be able to get that to work I would
  think... You just setup the DNAT redirect to redirect to
  the lan-side-IP of the router, probably.  Maybe you can
  tell it to DNAT to 127.0.0.1, I'm not sure if that works.

Let us know what you work out, I'd be interested to know.
Write me off-list with clear copy of notes/logs if you
  want more detailed discussion of proxy config/debugging.
