Indeed, 204 happens to be one of the two 2xx codes which can be 
returned directly, as they are handled in 
ngx_http_finalize_request() to facilitate simpler
code in the dav module.  This is not what your patch enables 
though.  For all other codes, except 204 and 201 mentioned above, 
just returning them will simply break things.

As already suggested, proper behaviour for all the codes can be 
easily configured by using the "error_page" directive.

Hope this helps.
