Eric,

Why are you not able to use directly the spot image metadata.dim + imagery.tif
in MapServer?

I would suggest you file a ticket against GDAL with an example file
demonstrating the problem (the metadata.dim would likely be sufficient)
and careful explanation of why you think the origin is wrong.  It may be
an "off by half a pixel error" which are common in interpreting the origin
of new file formats.

Best regards,
