I solved that one. See my recent email on the lack of JSONP callback in the template being the culprit. This is another in the list of items that I would like to add to MapServer documentation.

Re. setting mime type of MapServer templates, ostensibly you can in the OUTPUTFORMAT block. For example, I have the following

    OUTPUTFORMAT
      NAME "geojson"
      DRIVER "TEMPLATE"
      MIMETYPE "application/json"
      FORMATOPTION "FILE=/Users/punkish/Documents/www/gmaps/lib/gmna.html"
    END

Puneet.
