I suspect my issue has more to do with me not understanding the way server names 
are matched. I look in vain for some equivalent to apache2ctl -S, but can't find it.

I have only one vhost with the default_server present and thought that

listen 80 default_server;

would fire for servers without an explicit match. Some simple testing reveals 
another is matching, but I don't know which one yet.

As this is a live server I won't try the debug route there, just bad luck we got 
an IP address that had previous connections to some kind of music distribution.

Compiling nginx would be a last resort.

Sorry for the noise.
