This one looks good.

That URL looks broken, with a trailing comma instead of the “Release”
filename. Not sure if d-i is getting the right file (after all, you're
not getting a GPG validation issue), but it seems proxying triggers
something bad.

I think the issue started before that, see above.

It might make sense to double check what happens between your system
being installed and the proxy, to see whether the requests are badly
sent from d-i, and/or misinterpreted by squid?
