We'd like nginx to be able to return a 404 error page using x-accel-redirect, BUT also have the status code returned to be 404; is this possible?

I don't actually understand reason - if you want 404 content to be returned by frontend, you may use proxy_intercept_errors.

But if you really want to, try something like this:

location = /redirect-404-here { error_page 404 /404.html; return 404; }

location = /404.html { # here actual content should be returned # it will have 404 status ... }

and return "X-Accel-Redirect: /redirect-404-here". If you want the same for multiple different files - it's easy too, just use variables in error_page uri.
