Squid does not touch Location headers. They are forwarded to the client
exacly as it was given to Squid by the web server..

Why is your server sending such bad Location headers in response to a
valid request?

And it should. This was what the client requested..

Ah, now I get what you are talking about.

According to the HTTP protocol the above two requests are identical when
given to a HTTP server. But it is possible your web server is buggy and
does not handle fully qualified URLs properly. If this is the case then
you need the rproxy patch from devel.squid-cache.org (or wait for
Squid-3.0).

This i not related to the httpd_accel_uses_host_header directive in any
manner, but rather in how the request is forwarded to the backend
server. The fully qualified form is the format expected by proxies (i.e.
peers in Squid speak), the short form is the format expected by web
servers.
