logrotate (?) screws it badly

You need to check if the postrotate command completes successfully (for example - is the pid file in correct path? / I would remove all the || true parts and just leave kill -USR1 `cat /run/nginx.pid`).

Now it seems that logrotate just renames the files but nginx is not getting the signal and still has open handle to them so keeps logging in the renamed file.
