There are many fixes in Squid-4 and latest 3.5 for those situations. But still some open bug reports about the behaviour there. Those are not related to ACLs specifically. Any reconfig task that takes longer than the time between -k reconfigure signals being sent will trigger issues. ... Ironically using a helper is one of the things which breaks. Squid looses track of whether any given new helper being started was for the current or previous -k reconfigure signal. And of course connections and transactions which are already underway are not affected by newly loaded config details.
