I have tried using two shapefiles (one reprojected into NAD83) and two
corresponding projections in the Map element.

NAD83:
<Map srs="+proj=latlong +ellps=NAD83 +datum=NAD83 +no_defs">

Layer SRS WKT:
GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",
    DATUM["North_American_Datum_1983",
        SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101]],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
    UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]

<Map srs="+proj=latlong +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs">

WGS84:
GEOGCS["WGS 84",
    DATUM["WGS_1984",
        SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223563,
