While I'm not an SSL expert, I guess the rule doesn't kick in because
your squid is not really using encryption.
It's doing plain HTTP tunneling, it never sees the cert really.

I guess that the documentation may be clearer and specify that this is
really only useful for reverse-proxy scenarios.
It is not a limitation by squid, but it is a limitation of all known browsers.
