Oh it seems a lot of the AJAX is broken. At least that gives me a another avenue to investigate this issue :)

I've now resolved this issue thanks to simon_w on IRC. I had one PHP file which started with <? instead of <?php - I fixed this and lo and behold nginx working again :) As such disregard above query.
