IMO it's a feature rather than a bug.

If you take a look at the output of squidclient mgr:storedir you
posted, you'll see that the policy is a property of the "store
directory" not a global setting. Each cache_dir line uses the most
recently defined policy, or the default of lru.

I think it might be a good idea to warn about cache_replacement_policy
lines that don't affect a cache. Ideally the policy would have been a
cache_dir parameter.
