William,

Ah!  That could explain it.  The handling of TAB files for georeferencing
of TIFFs has no doubt changed.  At the point where gdalinfo reports the
GCPs associated with your image, do the following to "warp to north up":

  gdalwarp your.tif your_simple.tif

In fact your image is already *almost* north up so this shouldn't change
it much, but it will turn it into a geotiff with simple "world file like"
information.  The output file should work fine with mapserver.

Best regards,
