I think I have found a solution to this issue. I've created a location 
block that grabs the static file extensions and does the normal 
processing on them without the track_uploads call. Essentially, this 
means I can't track uploads to URLs ending in CSS, JS, etc. I can live 
with that. It also means that full page caching probably won't work, but 
I don't use that. Here's my new location block:

    location ~* \.(jpg|gif|png|css|js|htm|html)(\?[0-9]+)?$ {
      proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
      proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
      proxy_redirect false;
      proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;
      if (!-f $request_filename) {
        proxy_pass http://mongrel; break;
      }
    }
