It seems to work for me.

Can you provide an nginx.conf and nginx -V output that shows the problem?

When I use

===
server {
listen 8000;

location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
===

and try

curl -i -A "" -H X-Client-IP:1.2.3.4 http://localhost:8000/

then I can see in tcpdump output going to port 8080:

===
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: 127.0.0.1:8080
Connection: close
Accept: */*
X-Client-IP: 1.2.3.4

===

This is with nginx/1.2.4.

What's different in your setup?
