Was it working with prev. nginx version?

It seems that your redirect is actually configured to handle 
http://urcreative.hobby-site.com/wiki/images/thumb/3/34/25%
25.svg/9px-25%25.svg.png

(every percent sign that you put in your URL I've replaced to %25)

Could you show fragment of your config and probably I or someone else
will be able to figure out what's wrong?

Bad request is probably happening because nginx is trying to decode %xx
in your url but finds "%.s" which is not supposed to be in URL... 


Alex.
p.s. cheers from dyndns.com team :)
