See these article for general hints:

http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil
http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil#What_to_do_instead

In this particular case, it should also be possible to use 
fastcgi_ignore_headers unconditionally, with appropriate 
fastcgi_no_cache additionally configured (see 
http://nginx.org/r/fastcgi_no_cache for details).
