Again: there are lots of location configurations, and by trying to 
access them at postconfiguration callback you are likely checking 
a wrong one.  Note that even a simple config with a single 
location in a single server{} block, like this:

     http { server { location { ... } } }

has 3 location configurations for each http module.

As previously suggested, you should consider using merge callbacks 
to validate configuration instead.
