nginx proxy vs apache proxy

Are you sure Apache uses exactly the same headers when passing
the request to the backend? Compare the frontend/backend traffic
with apache and nginx, and adjust the nginx configuration accordingly.

Nginx will do what you configure; but I guess the values above
are not really inspected by your backend.

Take a look at nginx_ajp_module:
