In the shapefile case we use the shapefile's extents, but this is not readily available with postgis, so unless I'm mistaken, MapServer looks up the wms/ows_extent metadata in the layer, and if not found then it falls back on the map's EXTENT for the mandatory BoundingBox and LatLonBoundingBox elements.
