It occurs to me that the answer to your problem (checking whether a
service runs regardless of it being enabled in /etc/rc.conf) is in your
original post.


Use onestatus instead of status:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nginx onestatus


Also, maybe you shouldn't be so quick to claim you've found a bug in
software used by literally tens of thousands of people and which seems
to work fine for them.
Such claims need to be backed up by strong evidence ;)
