Sture,

I've experienced exactly the same problem with Mapserver 4.10.0. Don't 
know if this should be considered a bug, but it is a backwards 
compatibility issue with existing mapscript applications at least. I 
believe this behavior has been caused by some recent changes to the 
mapfile lexer.

There's however a workaround for this. The following should do the trick:

$poLayer->setFilter("\"navn = 'Fjaler'\"");

Best regards,
