I am still not entirely convinced.

As for security zones there is a big difference in a connection to a well 
defined proxy server and a request for 
http://name.of.your.proxy/squid-internal-static/icons/anthony-unknown.gif

One is a request to a proxy server, the other a request to a web server 
(assuming name.of.your.proxy matches the domains you have selected to not 
use a proxy for).

If it keeps happening even after successful authentication then it surely 
is a browser bug.

Could be. But still the icons is very special in terms of security zones 
etc..
