I reproduced this with the GMap demo:
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?request=getcapabilities

reutnrs the following formats:

 <Format>image/gif</Format>
 <Format>image/png</Format>
 <Format>image/jpeg</Format>
 <Format>image/wbmp</Format>
 <Format>application/x-shockwave-flash</Format>
 <Format>text/html</Format>
 <Format>application/x-pdf</Format>
 <Format>image/tiff</Format>

It must be that one of the default output formats in MapServer triggers this
text/html thing which confuses some clients.

I even wonder if any/all of the non-image formats would work via the WMS
interface.  Each of them should be tested at least once.  

For sure the text/html format didn't work for me when I tried it on the GMap WMS
server.
