I am not aware of any such patches. The changes were significant, fixing
many PROXY protocol handling bugs. Virtually anything can be backported,
but it would be a large effort with noticeable stability risks and
long-term maintenance overheads. Preparing for a v5 upgrade may be a
better strategy in this particular case.

According to [1], the above configuration should result in two ICAP
REQMOD requests (if configured) before classifyRequest is consulted
during step2. I am aware of SslBump bugs in that area, but I would
expect at least one ICAP REQMOD request anyway. The requests
existence/timing should be easy to confirm using cache.log with
debug_options set to at least "ALL,3 82,9 93,9" and/or a logging or
pausing external ACL script in combination with an icap_log (to compare
logged timestamps).
