What do you want to get ? Probably you need just:

    location = /favicon.ico {
        root  /frontend/template/default/img;
    }

    location ~ ^/img/(.*\.(jpg|png|gif))$ {
        root  /frontend/template/default;
    }

    location ~ ^/js/(.*\.js)$ {
        root  /frontend/template/default;
    }

    location ~ ^/b_js/(.*\.js)$ {
        alias  /bframe/frontend/cache/js_cache/$1;
    }

    location ~ ^/css/(.*\.css)$ {
        root  /frontend/template/default;
    }

    location  /html/ {
        root  /frontend/;
    }

without these ugly rewrites.
