IMO it's a feature rather than a bug. If you take a look at the output of squidclient mgr:storedir you posted, you'll see that the policy is a property of the "store directory" not a global setting. Each cache_dir line uses the most recently defined policy, or the default of lru. I think it might be a good idea to warn about cache_replacement_policy lines that don't affect a cache. Ideally the policy would have been a cache_dir parameter.
