CORS Fails on CloudFront Distribution with Nginx Origin

Question

I have a CloudFront distribution set up with an Nginx server as the origin (a Media Temple DV server, to be specific). I enabled the Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header so fonts will work in Firefox. However, Firefox throws a CORS error for fonts loaded from this CloudFront/Nginx distribution.

I created another CloudFront distribution, this time with an Apache server as the origin, and set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * also. Firefox displays fonts from this origin without issue.

I've set up a demo page here: http://kristengrote.com/cors-test/

When I perform a curl request for the same font file from each distribution, both files return almost exactly the same headers:

Apache Origin                                                            Nginx Origin

So the only conclusion I can draw is that something about Nginx is preventing Firefox from recognizing CORS and allowing the fonts via CloudFront.

Any ideas on what the heck is happening here?
