You have to save the header value returned by the subrequest to a
variable with auth_request_set, and then add the header to a
response generated using the "add_header" directive. Something
like this should work:
location / {
auth_request /auth;
auth_request_set $saved_set_cookie $upstream_http_set_cookie;
add_header Set-Cookie $saved_set_cookie;
...
}

The $http_* variables are headers of a request, and you can't
redefine them. Hence the error.

All HTTP request headers are passed to FastCGI application as
HTTP_* params, and will be available to an application as
coresponding environment variables. Additional params are passed
as configured in your fastcgi_params file.
