I think it's better to use such configuration:

     location / {
         root /var/www/myspace/cache;
         index index.html;
         error_page  404  = /miss;
     }

     location = /miss {
         proxy_pass   http://backend;

         # do not write any URI part after "http://backend" !!!
         # then proxy_pass gets original client URI, but not "/miss"
     }
