nginx gzip_static not following gzip_types

[ctrlbrk]

The directive gzip_static does not follow the rules in gzip_types


    gzip on;
    gzip_static on;
    gzip_http_version 1.0;
    gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
    gzip_comp_level 5;
    gzip_min_length 1000;
    gzip_vary on;
    gzip_buffers 64 16k;
    gzip_types text/plain application/xml text/css
application/javascript application/x-javascript text/javascript;

As you can see, it is looking for .gz images even though the gzip_types
excludes images.
