I didn't double-check in QGIS, but I'd suspect the "default" entries are 
WMS STYLES. In WMS, each <Layer> has at least one style called "default" 
by default (this is implicit in the WMS spec, not explicitly listed in 
GetCapabilities). If that's what QGIS is showing you then there is not 
much you can do about this from MapServer's end.

You could confirm this by creating named styles in your WMS (i.e. set 
GROUPs on some of your classes just for testing) and see if they show up 
at that same level in the QGIS interface:
