I have setup a sandbox (virtual box with squid 3.5.7 on debian 7.6; for transparent proxy, I have setup NAT iptables and IP route to run client through squid; my client browser is configured with squid certificate) and have tried many configurations. I am still a little bit lost...

Use ufdbguard if you actually have to have one of these. SG is a dead
project.

Or just use an ACL blacklist/whitelist in squid.conf. Far simpler.

Use an ICAP / eCAP service instead. It will greatly simplify your next
requirements implementation ...

Is that "sslblacklist" test in http_access actually matching?

I didn't think we had ssl_server_name working outside the ssl_bump rules
yet. Good news if we do.

(you will probably comment), I have still the same feeling of degrading
the security when bumping. Hence, my main question remains (title of the
thread): how to get (at least) revocation working (requirement "e")?

I was about to suggest the CRL file loading option. But I see that
Squid-3 did not actually expose that option in squid.conf, even though
the code behind it was present. I guess that is another new config
feature coming in Squid-4 then, since its now possible.

For now in 3.5 there is still the cert validator helper. Should be
possible through that I think.

I hoping it will be eventually. But Christos appears to be concentrating
on getting the underlying security operations working well and finalized.

The page is outdated, essentially unchanged from when the whole feature
was a wishlist plan and no actual code. So it does not reflect much of
what the latest code actually does when bugs and workaround hacks are
accounted for.

There is another patch coming down to 3.5 in the next few days which
will resolve a lot of the little oddities in the actions selected. It
should make the behaviour more accurately follow that documentation.

 "forwarded_for transparent" (rather than delete. A tool can test for a
proxy deleting XFF).

Plus TPROXY. But that is another complex feature almost as tricky as
ssl_bump for some OS. So get one sorted out before mixing the other in.

Each time you bump a TLS certificate though, you will expose the proxy
via it too. Which can be tested for if the origin gets desperate to
prevent HTTP working properly (proxy support is a non-optional part of
the standards).
