This sounds very similar to http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/90.

Are you indeed using "/app1", "/app2" and so on in your config, or 
it's just masks for some real names with uppercase letters?  If 
there are upperacse letters, than using locations in lowercase 
will resolve the issue as suggested in the ticket linked.
