Most likely this is something screwed up in your configuration
which results in the problem. Plain proxy_pass like this

location / {
proxy_pass http://backend;
}

won't even know you've defined indexes somewhere and won't care at
all if there are any files. Though there is more than one way to
screw it up, e.g. by using if[1] directive. There is a reason why
http://wiki.nginx.org/Debugging suggests showing config when
asking for help.
