This is because these images are handled not in

    location /phpmyadmin/ {

but in regex location

    location ~ .*\.(php|php5)?$

since it has more priority. Look at
http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpCoreModule#location
to see how nginx chooses location.

You need something like this:

    location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.*\.php)$ {
    }

    location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/ {
    }

Also, you do not need "alias" here.
These locations:

 location /phpmyadmin/ {
    alias /home/httpd/html/phpmyadmin/;

 location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.*\.php)$ {
    alias /home/httpd/html/phpmyadmin/$1;

should be changed to

 location /phpmyadmin/ {
    root /home/httpd/html;

 location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/.*\.php$ {
    root /home/httpd/html;
