The docs I linked to have this to say: "If at least one value of the
string parameters is not empty and is not equal to “0” then the
response will not be saved"

So if content-length is always present (and sometimes "0") I would try this:

------------------------------------
map $upstream_http_content_length $map_upstream_cache_buster {
default 0;
0 1;
}
server {
[...]
proxy_no_cache $map_upstream_cache_buster;
}
------------------------------------

Or something like that; you get the idea.
