For POSTs yes. This is a feature, not a bug.

The reason Squid does this is because it can not be certain that the
server really supports persistent connections or that it is willing to
accept the request, and terminating a POST mid-way due to the server
closing the connection is very bad.. because of this Squid do not reuse
connections for POST requests instead opening a new connection.
