This test is the closest I could find of ”layer-as-a-tileindex of vectors"
that makes me think it should work:
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/blob/1a45e6074b71738e576563ac39f60fd96ded50eb/msautotest/wxs/contour_tileindex.map#L70-L101

What version of MapServer are you using?

Can you try this mapfile on your version of Mapserver?
