Thanks very much for looking at this.

Where is this "=" notation documented? That try_files line looks exactly
like what I'm trying to do and appears much more elegant. 

I was under some impression that try_files could not take arguments with
a URI, which may be an assumption based on the name of the directive.
It's not really documented that try_files can do this either, unless
I'm looking in the wrong place?

Right?

Finally, exactly what happens if you have location blocks but none of
them match and you haven't specified a default?
