Oops. Wrong regex. Rather:

location / {
    include drupal-controller.conf;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;

    location ~ ^(/(<current_location_base>[^/]*).*$ {
        include drupal-controller.conf;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $current_location_base$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}
