We are receiving the same crash.
It only happens after the add_header portion of the configuation. After
commenting these out the server was able to start.
Here is an excerpt from the strace.
~~~~~~~~~~~
open("/etc/nginx/vc-crossdomain", O_RDONLY) = 6
fstat(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=50, ...}) = 0
pread(6, "location /crossdomain.xml {\n\troo"..., 50, 0) = 50
close(6) = 0
open("/etc/nginx/vc-defaults", O_RDONLY) = 6
fstat(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=29, ...}) = 0
pread(6, "add_header X-Node $hostname;\n", 29, 0) = 29

After removing the add header calls
~~~~~~~~~

fcntl(21, F_SETOWN, 30831) = 0
fcntl(21, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
fcntl(22, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
