This location:

# bigserver.cz/username -> profile.bigserver.cz/username/profile/
location / {
rewrite ^/([^/]+) http://profile.bigserver.cz/$1/profile/ redirect;
}

matches requests to "/" exactly and stopped matching. But it
doesn't redirect "/" itself. Without index set this
obviously results in 403.

One simple solution is to define exact location = /, i.e.

location = / {
...
}

with appropriate proxy_pass'es.

In 0.8.42 behaviour has been changed to be a bit more
intuitive:

*) Change: now nginx tests locations given by regular expressions, if
request was matched exactly by a location given by a prefix string.
The previous behavior has been introduced in 0.7.1.

and your location / no longer prevents your regexp location with
proxy_pass from working. That's why you don't see "problem" in
0.8.53.
