This issue is not a bug. I found the problem, and it was rather ridiculous and a pain to track down.

The build scripts for the nginx front end neglected a permission on /etc/nginx.

This one's in the bag.

Same issue as [Visualization/Authorization Error when using dashboards with many visualizations](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/visualization-authorization-error-when-using-dashboards-with-many-visualizations/94001)

My apologies
