In this case as all you need it to echo the username back to Squid the following suffices:
#!/bin/sh while read user; do echo OK user=$user done
And will the Ident acl "set" the username the same way the proxy_auth does so my filtering program can identify the username?
Yes.
Why should I disable client side persistent connections?
Because of the ident association of the external acl returned username in Squid-2.5. ident is connection oriented, meaning all requests on this connection will inherit the username.
This is fixed in Squid-3.0, where this mechanism of having external acls returning a username is more obvious.
