If something went wrong, shouldn't your PHP be generating a 40x or 50x
error code? Nginx doesn't cache these by default.

A third-party web application which returns a 20X code on errors is
currently the bane of my existence. It just plain stinks for
monitoring, log analysis, and just about anything else. If you have
any influence over the back-end PHP code at all, I would change it to
return proper error codes.
