Well the difference is: 
the tif that does not work has: a 256 RGB,
colorinterp=palette, is projected on the fly, and is a
newer version of an orthophoto.
I have used tiff2bw and gdal_translate to make it
grayscale, so i have a few versions of the file (5),
and all make the same error.

I tried with one layer and the background mapserver
generates is a gray color.

Another thing the troublesome layer is just a test
before i load all the others in the set (60
orthophotos in aoa, and 49 already loaded in utm
projection)
