Requests are logged in the context of a location where processing ends.

So if your custom error page is handled in the same location that the
initial request is handled in, you'll use the same access_log.

The two requests are handled in the same location, and there are no
internal redirects to a different location.

That's not what nginx does.

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_log_module.html

I think that you would have to come up with one error_page per "normal"
location, then create a new location for each error_page, that had the
same access_log configuration as the location it came from.

Or have the error_page value be handled in the same location that it is
configured in.

Good luck with it,
