Sorry, but there are no reasons to trust your words more than 
nginx code, at least till you provide full configuration to 
reproduce what you claim see.

Please try checking again (an easy test is to just comment out 
this particular "include" directive, while preserving 
proxy_redirect line in the include file).  If it doesn't help, 
please provide full configuration.
