Oops. There was a superfluous URI being tried. Here it is: 

location /gallery3 {

  location /gallery3(.*)$ {
    try_files $uri /gallery3/index.php$1 /gallery3/index.php?kohana_uri=$1;
  }

  ## You need this here to make it work with the nested location.
  location /gallery3/index.php {
    (fastcgi or proxy_pass stuff here)
  }
}
