You seem to be mixing two things:

1- The error above is returned by the CONNECTIONTYPE WMS code (i.e. 
using MapServer as a WMS client) which is indeed supported only for WMS 
1.0 or 1.1. This error message could definitely be improved to make it 
more obvious that it applies only to CONNECTIONTYPE WMS.

2- The GetCapabilities is MapServer acting as a *server* for other 
remote clients, and in this case 1.3.0 is supported.

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve (I missed the beginning of 
the thread), but you should probably take a few minutes to re-read 
Jukka's explanation in light of the two points above.
