There's now official documentation on this issue, which I used and confirmed works.

The documentation states:

server {
  listen   80;
  server_name www.example.com;
  rewrite ^(.*) http://example.com$1 permanent;
}

server {
  listen   80;
  server_name example.com;

  # root directive should be global
  root   /var/www/example.com/public/app/webroot/;
  index  index.php;

  access_log /var/www/example.com/log/access.log;
  error_log /var/www/example.com/log/error.log;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
  }

  location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
    include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index   index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
  }
}
