An "alias" is incorrectly inherited in nested locations.
This is the reason why the nested locations are still not officially
supported. Probably this will help:

  location  ~ ^/x/(.+\.php)$ {
      alias  /stat/$1;
      fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
      fastcgi_index  index.php;
      fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME  $request_filename;
      include  fastcgi_params;
  }

There is no global fastcgi settings.
