Actually, since  "A gre(4) driver, which can encapsulate IP packets 
using GRE (RFC 1701) or minimal IP encapsulation for Mobile IP (RFC 
2004), has been added", WCCP over GRE has not been working on FreeBSD 
Stable systems, because there is no WCCP support in new GRE driver. I 
tried the same things as you did. I e-mailed this situation several 
times to lists since 12/11/2002, but there is no action.

Henrik Nordstom from squid-cache.org, said that adding WCCP support to 
an existing GRE module is in most cases trivial as the packet format is 
identical to plain IP over GRE except for the protocol type, and that 
GRE is only used in one direction (Router -> Proxy) not as a 
bidirectional tunnel.
