It is a very simple patch to change this. I submitted it to the list a
few days ago (I think). Switch the order of the "if (vhost_mode)" and
"if (opt_accel_uses_host..." blocks in src/icp.c:parseHttpRequest().

By doing this you give the Host: header higher precendence than the
virtual IP address, making Squid to use the Host: header if available,
and fall back to the server IP if not. (enable both virtual server
support, and "accel uses host" in squid.conf)
