   How about 403 Forbidden?

That seems like a poor choice to me.  Yes, the UA shouldn't have sent
it, but there's a general principle regarding credentials: the
supplicant might present you with a pile of credentials, and it's your
job to sort through them to see what you recognize and determine what
that means the supplicant may do.  That's because the supplicant may
have been given several credentials under several different (and
possibly conflicting) security policies, and it may not know which
ones are relevent to you.  In that light, credentials that you don't
recognize or that violate some of your rules should be ignored, rather
than causing the request to be rejected.

OTOH, in a more closed environment, where feedback from the proxy
might cause useful corrective action to be taken by the owner of the
UA, and where the proxy can make more authoritative judgements on the
behavior of the UA, 403 might be the correct thing.
