It is not an error in MapProxy. These errors occur when a client requests a tile but closes the connection before it received the complete data. This happens in OpenLayers for example, when you zoom in too quickly.

Nginx will log this request with status code 499 in this case (at least with gunicorn). I think uwsgi should catch and ignore this error as well, so your log won't get filled.
