As explained by Francis, I forgot to mention the part that "root /tmp/w" in a "location /wth" means accessing /tmp/w/wth for /wth and if it's a directory - as it would usually be - it'll return redirect to /wth/ which will then check /tmp/w/wth/ for the index file.

If you want /wth/a.html to return content of /tmp/w/a.html instead of /tmp/w/wth/a.html, use alias instead of root (although there may be other complications when combined with fastcgi for example).
