If you restore the previous configuration, does the problem go away again?

Was the only change in the server_name directive?

Does the debug log show lines like "test location: " followed by "using "?

Does that hint at which location{} is used and what happens next?

If you can recreate the problem on a test system, then you can probably
more easily analyse the debug log for a single request at a time.
