The change has been apperaed due to Mongrel-type configuration:

location / {
    try_files      /system/maintenance.html
                   $uri  $uri/index.html  $uri.html
                   @mongrel;
}

location @mogrel {
    proxy_pass     http://mongrel;
}

when "/" exists, but /index.html is not exist, then request was handled
locally and return 403.

I will look how to resolve the issue.

One possible solution:

  location / {
      try_files $uri @php;
  }

  location @php {
      fastcgi_pass ...;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php;
  }

  location ~ (/|\.php)$ {
      fastcgi_pass ...;
      fastcgi_index index.php;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
  }
