For me adding client_max_body_size 20M; to the "nginx-vhost" in /etc/nginx/sites-available worked. Then it looks like

server {

  server_name bbb.example.org;
  listen 443 ssl;
  listen [::]:443 ssl;
  client_max_body_size 20M;

Thanks for the advise @github-luckow-org. I changed it to 30M as that's the default size limit for BBB according to the documentation.

Pull request #1977 updates the greenlight.nginx to allow uploads up to 25mb which should mostly fix this problem. Still, it would be nice to upload files via JavaScript and react to a 413 status to show users a sensible error instead of relying on the somewhat ugly Nginx error message where users end up outside of Greenlight.

fixed in 2.7.1
