Then you try to remove cgi.fix-pathinfo and to use the following:

   location ~ ^/(galleries|poll|news)(/|$) {

       set  $script_name  $uri;
       set  $path_info    "";

       if ($uri ~ ^(/[^/]+)(/.*)) {
           set  $script_name  $uri;
           set  $path_info    $1;
       }

       fastcgi_pass ...
       fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$script_name;
       fastcgi_param  PATH_INFO        $path_info;
       ...
   }

Then you should get the following:

  URL                     SCRIPT_FILENAME               PATH_INFO

/galleries             $document_root/galleries            -
/galleries/            $document_root/galleries            /
/galleries/30/1/1      $document_root/galleries            /30/1/1
