Yes, see
http://lists.squid-cache.org/pipermail/squid-users/2016-August/012048.html

However, there is a difference between my August tests and this thread.
My tests were for a request parsing error response. Access denials do
not reach the same http_reply_access checks! See "early return"
statements in clientReplyContext::processReplyAccess(), including:

I am not sure whether avoiding http_reply_access in such cases is a
bug/misfeature or the right behavior. As any exception, it certainly
creates problems for those who want to [ab]use http_reply_access as a
delay hook. FWIW, Squid had this exception since 2007:

HTH,
