If you see that in each and every request, I'd suspect another reverse
proxy or load balancer at your end.

I see this request format, too, occasionally, but I haven't tried to
figure out which browsers/bot actually cause it.

I use this code in vcl_recv() to normalize the URL:

# fix "GET http://host/path" request
# extract Host: header and rewrite URL
if (req.url ~ "(?i)^https?://") {
	set req.http.Host = regsub(req.url, "(?i)^https?://([^/]*).*", "\1");
	set req.url = regsub(req.url, "(?i)^https?://[^/]*/?(.*)$", "/\1");
}
