Changes with nginx 0.7.40                                        
09 Mar 2009

    *) Feature: the "location" directive supports captures in regular 
       expressions.

    *) Feature: an "alias" directive with capture references may be used 
       inside a location given by a regular expression with captures.

...

It's just not in 0.7.38 (which is rather old, and from 0.7.* 
branch when it wasn't yet marked stable).

It's time to upgrade.
