Resampling rasters from unprojected WMS sources ?

I'm rendering a map in a UTM projection, but want to add a satellite image
wms service that only delivers images in lat/long wgs84.

No problem, I set the wms layer projection to epsg:4326, while my map (and
other layers) use projection epsg:25832. And it works, or almost ...

The sat image is distorted - "flattened" - so the vector line work layers on
top of it exceeds the country coast line north and south. And quite
significantly so.

Shouldn't the raster re-projection algoritms in Mapserver take care of such
distortions, or is mixing projected and unprojected coordinate systems
(still) a no-no ?
