This cryptic output is produced when the GetFeature request has no 
features to return.  A WFS GetFeature request uses a MapServer query 
internally so it requires a dummy template parameter for a layer to be 
queryable.  Try setting a dummy template value inside your layer's 
default class and that should help.
