Many thanks for your suggestions, I have changed to use the try_files method instead (is this a new directive?). Unfortunately the behaviour is exactly the same. I've run off a debug log for a page request but it's 99kb(!) so I can't really post it all here. In it I can see there are double requests for some files and for some of these I can't see the 200. Here is a part of the debug log where you can see two requests for "main.css" (there should only be one request) and it looks to me as if only one of them is finished with proper response headers:
