I think the missing parameter in STYLES. Is it possible that the STYLES 
parameter was missing in 3.6 ?

The short answer is that the remote WMS server didn't return a response
in an image format that mapserver can understand.  This can happen if
your WMS layer's CONNECTION parameter is missing some required
parameters and then the remote server returns an exception in XML format
which would then confuse MapServer (I know it should try to make sense
of XML exceptions, that's on the ToDo list, in the meantime, using
exceptions INIMAGE is recommended).

Perhaps if you sent your layer definition then we could help more.  BTW,
you write that you use MapLab, what did you do exactly in MapLab to get
this error?  Perhaps there is a problem with MapLab with your specific
server?
