The documentation already says 
(http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_limit_conn_module.html):

: Not all connections are counted. A connection is counted only if 
: it has a request processed by the server and the whole request 
: header has already been read.

in an attempt to clarify things.  This is more or less identical 
to what I wrote.  The difference is recommendations on how to 
better trigger the limit, but I doubt such recommendations should 
be in the documentation.
