A followup, as this is solved, the OGC server GetFeatureInfo is  
functional.

The problem I was running into was 2-fold:

Something in my install of XML parsing dependencies was messed up. An  
error about the WMS `INFO_FORMAT:` was being reported by the OGS  
server, but never appearing in the apache logs because the XML  
processing was stuck in an infinite loop, and resulting in 'permature  
end of script' errors.

Once I changed the EXCEPTIONS: to "application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage"  
from the XML format I clearly saw the error that Mapnik WMS only  
supports INFO_FORMAT: 'text/plain' rather than 'text/html' (which I  
should have recalled from the readme instructions).

Now I've got a working WMS GetFeatureInfo example posted here using  
OpenLayers:

http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/serverside/wms/openlayers_get_feature_info.html

Cheers,

Dane
