Hello,
I think I got it. But I'm missing the point of this change - "location 
/" exists in the most configurations (in order to define document root 
and default index documents). It matches everything, so most people 
trying to match / with regex, like me, will end up with the same problem 
and will have to add this additional configuration directives.
