It is expected that r->headers_in represent headers got from
client (i.e. inbound headers). It is not expected to be modified
by anything but nginx core when it reads headers from client (and
some modules which sets special variables there, like
r->headers_in.user).
To add headers to proxied [sub]request you have to use means
provided by proxy module, specifically proxy_set_header
configuration directive.
