[605] Static generated apps + pushstate

I have setup ngnix like this:

# HTML5 pushState nginx configuration
#
# @see: http://stackoverflow.com/a/30515169/1774183
#
# Server block for a client side app with directories:
# 
# /
# /foo
# /foo/bar
# /foo/bar/baz
# /foo/bar/baz/123
# /tacos
# /tacos/123

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;
    root /path/to/my/dist;

    gzip_static on;

    location / {
      try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }

    # Attempt to load static files, if not found route to @rootfiles
    location ~ (.+)\.(html|json|txt|js|css|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|svg|ico|eot|otf|woff|woff2|ttf)$ {
      try_files $uri @rootfiles;
    }

    # Check for app route "directories" in the request uri and strip "directories"
    # from request, loading paths relative to root.
    location @rootfiles {
      rewrite ^/(foo/bar/baz|foo/bar|foo|tacos)/(.*) /$2 redirect;
    }
}

I'm able to load dynamic URLs directly (i.e. pasting the URL example.com/foo/bar/baz/123 in the browser and loading the page) however the contents of /index.html are displayed for about a second and then replaced with an empty page (the layout is still displayed).

Any tips?
