Using if() on $request_uri/$request_filename suggests that config 
should be rewritten, but anyway nginx shouldn't coredump.

It still doesn't clear for me what caused such wierd behaviour.  
Probably some if's confused the config parsing code, but the 
snipped above isn't enough to reproduce problem.

By the way, nginx itself doesn't try to "read the real name of the 
files".  It's up to config author to instruct it what to do.
