The linked bug report perfectly describes what I am seeing, but, if you want something more specific:

On the apt-cacher-ng machine, running the attached config without the workaround, I cannot fetch .asc files, such as this one from openssl:

% curl http://localhost:3142/debian/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_1.1.0f.orig.tar.gz.asc
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en"><head><title>403 Forbidden file type or location</title>
...

This is hit by "apt source" in sid. You can test this with Docker, if Docker is your thing:

# In an up to date-ish Debian Sid machine...
faux@astoria:~% docker pull debian:sid && docker run -it debian:sid
sid: Pulling from library/debian

Status: Image is up to date for debian:sid

# Configure the proxy (here "urika" is the name of the machine running apt-cacher-ng),

It fails, because of the above 403 from apt-cacher-ng.

You can see apt-cacher-ng logging the error in /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher.log:
