Yes, this looks like a bug for me.

(Internally, the problem is a bit complex, and I event tend to
think that behaviour of try_files with alias in a regexp location
is inherently undefined, but the example above should certainly
work as expected.)

This works as expected.

The difference is that in a regexp location the "alias" directive
specifies full path to a file to use, and try_files isn't
currently able to handle this.
