Is this using the 4.4.0-beta1? If not then the first thing to do would
be to try 4.4.0-beta1.

I tried hacking together a quick mapfile using your layer and legend
definitions to reproduce this with your URL but I don't get this error.
I do get a legend with one item on it. I'll attach my test mapfile, you
may want to try it at your end.

If you still get this error with the latest version then perhaps you
could file a bug with a small testcase to reproduce and one of us can
have a look (your testcase should include mapfile, symbolset and
fontset, but data shouldn't be needed).
