Are you saying that when you run this URL, you get back a feature?

http://69.59.158.15/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/maps/spraywatch2/wms/mapfile.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=getfeature&typename=parcels&Filter=<Filter><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>gid</PropertyName><Literal>2389524</Literal></PropertyIsEqualTo></Filter>

I get a service exception: "msQueryByRect(): Search returned no results. 
No matching record(s) found." This is silly since the bbox search shows 
several matches, some of which would clearly match the filter.

I tried filtering by other fields as well, but keep getting not found 
exceptions.

The parcels layer (yes, it's PostGIS) is well over 1 GB, so I'm not sure 
what you want with it.

This is MS 5.0.0, FYI
