Well Ted,  re-read the migration guide carefully and think about the
implications of the following:

Sorry guys!  I left out part of the map file that I didn't think was
relevant but definitely is.  I had an 
OUTPUTFORMAT that I was using for a related, but different part of the
application.

  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME 'selected_parcel'
    DRIVER 'TEMPLATE'
    MIMETYPE 'text/html'
    FORMATOPTION 'FILE=selected_parcel.tmpl'
  END

Changing 
      MIMETYPE 'text/html' to  MIMETYPE 'text/html; driver=imagemap'
resolved the issue.  Now our GetFeatureInfo request queries return in the
order given in the 
WMS LAYERS parameter!

Have a good day all!
