I think I found the reason. reqrep replaces the *whole line* with the new string. So basically, you're replacing lines such as "GET /foo/favicon.ico HTTP/1.0" with "GET /favicon.ico" (without the HTTP version). This becomes HTTP/0.9, and I guess your server simply resets the connection because it does not support it, leading to a 502.

IMHO you should be using :

 reqrep ^([^\ ]*)\ /(.*)/favicon.ico\ (.*) \1\ /favicon.ico\ \3

And yes, I know this is not very convenient ;-)
