Thanks, try_files "" =404 works indeed as long as the regexp location block
contains the necessary alias. I.e. the original example modified like in:

server {
  listen 8080 default_server;
  root /usr/share/nginx/html;
  autoindex on;

  location /x/ {
    alias /test/;
    location ~ ^/x/test {
      try_files "" =404;
    }
  }
}

does not work, while the following one with an extra alias works nicely:

server {
  listen 8080 default_server;
  root /usr/share/nginx/html;
  autoindex on;

  location /x/ {
    alias /test/;
    location ~ ^/x/(test.*) {
      alias /test/$1;
      try_files "" =404;
    }
  }
}

P.S.

This is indeed a very simplified config. However, even in this form it is
useful as it reports directories matching ^/x/test as not found even with
autoindex on inherited from the server context.
