Sounds like the server is receiving a WMS or WFS request in which the 
SERVICE parameter is missing.

The SERVICE parameter is mandatory for most OGC Web Services (except old 
versions like WMS 1.0.0 if I remember correctly). MapServer did not 
enforce that rule before and started doing it in 5.2... that's why you 
didn't see this error before. The fix should be to include the 
SERVICE=... parameter in your URLs.
