"wms_latlonboundingbox" doesn't do anything in WMS capabilites.

You could try setting a "wms_extent" metadata with coordinates in the
layer's native projection and MapServer should reproject that to
geographic coordinates to produce the <LatLonBoundingBox ...> element.

BTW, the ability to fetch extents of raster layers in the data file has
been added in MapServer 4.3, but still doesn't seem to work with WMS
layers, something we'll have to look into...
