I ran into this same problem (being that Memcache just serves up data and won't
tell Nginx what type of data it is). I think the best solution is to set the
"default_type" in your configuration based on which key it's getting, e.g.,

  location /html {
      memcached_pass 127.0.0.1:11211;
      default_type text/html;
  }

  location /javascript {
      memcached_pass 127.0.0.1:11211;
      default_type text/javascript;
  }

Should work for most uses.
