The proxy_redirect has changed the Location: response, which is good.

What does

    curl -v https://x.x.x.x/app?stickyRedirectTest=key

return?

Can you see in your browser "developer tools console" what series of
requests and responses are made when things work using the internal
system directly; and how far in that sequence does it get when you go
through nginx?

I suggest trying (in the short term, at least)

    proxy_cookie_path ~^/pwm.* /app;

in the same location{} block, and seeing if that makes any useful change
to the response when the browser goes through nginx.

Cheers,
