Now I am not recommending this without you considering your situation. But you could turn uwsgi_ignore_client_abort to "on". With this turned on nginx will keep the aborted connection open until uwsgi returns.

But really the uwsgi thread wasn't being aborted, so aborting the nginx connection early isn't really gaining you much in my opinion.
