What is probably happening is that when you ask for /dir, you get a http
redirect to /dir/. That redirect must include the full url, including
the hostname. And nginx has to choose which hostname to use. And it
doesn't choose the one that you want it to choose.

What is the output of

  curl -i http://subD1.XXXX.net/admin

? I guess it will show http://XXXX.net/admin/. You then separately
request http://XXXX.net/admin/, and therefore shouldn't be surprised
that the subdomain recognition fails, because in this request there is
no subdomain.

Possibly setting server_name_in_redirect
(http://nginx.org/r/server_name_in_redirect) to "off" will work for
you? The docs say that default is off, but I think that may have been
different in the 0.7 series.
