It should work with recent nginx versions (0.7.51+) but may
produce strange results as long as this errors escape to user due
to config errors. And actually I see no reason to do so in your
config, 405 (Method Not Allowed) looks appropriate in your config.

It's much better to setup separate default server for this. E.g.

server {
listen 80 default;
server_name_in_redirect off;

return 444;
}

Directive error_page seems unneeded here. Additionally it looks
wrong (note that there is no '=').

It should be enough to use

try_files $uri =404;

instead as of 0.7.51+.
