From the old 40k squat list (compendium or compilation?):
Although the Legiones Astartes shun serving with Abhumans wherever
possible, the Imperial Guard are quite prepared to serve alongside Squats,
In return, Squat forces can often count on Imperial Guard contingents being
available to support them...

So no exception for squats, except (doh!) that traitor squats could ally
with traitor legions.
