There is a quick hack, that should work, but does add at least another
stat call or two. Basically it's one last additional "is this -really-
a file" check. Of course it does require nginx to have filesystem
access (not a remote fastcgi_pass)

It was something along the lines of:

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri @404; # have to make a named 404 location then.
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:11000;
}

Or this is probably a bit clearer, but more evil because it uses "if"

location ~ \.php$ {
    if (!-f $request_filename) { return 404; } # or whatever you want to return
    fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:11000;
}
