If I make my server{} have three location{}s:

==
location ~ ^/(api|contentAsset|categoriesServlet|DotAjaxDirector|html|dwr|dA)/ {
  return 200 "In the first location, uri $uri\n";
}

location ~ [A-Z] { return 200 "In the A-Z location, uri $uri\n"; }

location / { return 200 "In the / location, uri $uri\n"; }
==

then the requests for /dwr/interface/CategoryAjax.js,
/dwr/interface/HostAjax.js, and /html/images/languages/gh_TW.gif are
served from the first location, not the second.

So - I'm not seeing what you are reporting.

When you do a "curl -i" for /dwr/interface/CategoryAjax.js, what response
do you get?

HTTP 200, HTTP 301, something else?

Thanks,
