Are you sure that's the reason? It would help if you send us the mapfile
with the query you're using and how's the data structured on the DB. 

Maybe you're missing selecting some data needed by the layer definition
(that has been my experience with that error, it always is something
wrong/missing in the query).

I've drawn multipolygon layers thousands of times with 4.0 and PostGIS
CVS :-)

Good luck,
