The debug log should have a bunch of "test location:" lines, followed
by one "using configuration" line. That's the location that is being
used for this request.

Other than that, the rules at http://nginx.org/r/location and at
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/request_processing.html should make it
straightforward to determine which location is used for this request.

And now that you know that regexes are not implicitly anchored, it should
be clear what is going on.

It's even easier if there are only prefix locations in use.

Cheers,
