Docker client <= 1.9.1 cannot pull images which are push by a docker client >= 1.10.0

An image has been pushed to Nexus 3.0 by a Docker client which version was 1.10.0 or later. Now I cannot pull this image with a Docker client which version is <= 1.9.1.
I get following error:

docker pull dockerregistry.internal.com/appyard
Using default tag: latest
Trying to pull repository dockerregistry.internal.com/appyard ... not found
Error: image appyard:latest not found

I can successfully pull images which has been pushed with an 1.9.1 Docker client.

I tried without success the following:

• to disable V1 support for the group repository
• configure nginx to apply headers to all GET requests in order to enforce V1 or V2 manifests:
  add_header Docker-Distribution-Api-Version registry/2.0 always;
  add_header Accept application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json;
  proxy_set_header Accept application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json;

With version 1.10.0 of Docker the format of the manifest has changed. I'm using an Nginx configuration as described in chapter Example: Reverse Proxy SSL Termination at Base Path.
