This location should match only requests to "/(40x|50x).html" in 
all versions.

If you want regexp to work you have to mark location as regexp-one 
with "~" modifier (and rewrite regexp to be correct), i.e.

    location ~ ^/(40x|50x)\.html$ {
        allow all;
    }

Though I really recommend using two normal (or exact match) locations instead, i.e.

    location = /40x.html {
        allow all;
    }
    location = /50x.html {
        allow all;
    }
