Not really used (and not likely to in near future), but here are
some questions:

1. Any reason why you create hidden location from the module instead
of accepting name of existing one? It looks unnatural for me.

2. As far as I see it uses only first path returned by mogilefs.
Is it planned to support failover? From my understanding it
should be simple, something like

location /mogilefs {
mogilefs_tracker ...
mogilefs_pass /mogilefs_fetch;
}
location /mogilefs_fetch {
error_page 502 503 504 = @failover;
proxy_pass $mogilefs_path_0;
}
location @failover {
proxy_pass $mogilefs_path_1;
}
...
