My total hit ratio decreased in ~2 times from 40% to 20% (it could be cold cache but it lasted at this level for a day without sign of improvement).
I'll retry tests with making sure there're no Vary header and will also try 1 worker with shared cache tomorrow. But even if it is this bug looks like caching works as expected in squid 4 so it'll be better solution than messing up with headers probably.
