Resolved; well sort of!
I've been setting up log file permissions to jibe with the cache_effective_user tag in /etc/squid3/squid.conf, which I had set to squid. As I was troubleshooting, I also changed the http_port tag from 8080, but I noticed the output when I tried starting squid remained 8080:
Accepting HTTP Socket connections at local=[::]:8080 remote=[::] FD 11 flags=9
Obviously my squid.conf was not being used, that's when I noticed squid -v indicated sysconfdir=/etc/squid (i.e. not /etc/squid3).
I discovered that I had ended up with two config locations:
/etc/squid/squid.conf
/etc/squid3/squid.conf
This was likely due to issues with me using a binary install:
sudo apt-get install squid
and also making custom builds, with outdated ./configure options. I was using the configure options listed here:
It indicates using --sysconfdir=/etc/squid, but that doesn't jibe with sudo apt-get install squid, which puts squid.conf in /etc/squid3
I've opened this bug:
I'll request wiki update access too.
I indicated 'sort of' at the outset because while I'm pretty certain having two locations for squid.conf was the source of all my problems, I wasn't able to confirm 100%. I abandoned my troubleshooting activities because I had to re-install the OS anyway. For example, I can't reconcile why I had /etc/squid3/ given I had purged my original squid install...
Interestingly, it turns out that I didn't need to rebuild at all. Filtering by MAC address is now provided by default, as indicated in this thread which also provides some excellent suggestions for configuring your build environment:

I didn't see a resolution so I'm picking up the thread.I've installed and run squid 3.5.5 previously w/o a problem using:sudo apt-get install squidI want to filter by mac address though, so I purged that install and re-built squid with the --enable-arp-acl flag.
