To help troubleshoot this, I suggest that whoever works on this look at the output of scribe.py on that mapfile fragment. It is very likely that the scribe.py script truncates the string at the ":" which results in an invalid mapfile as output.

The solution would likely be to have the scribe.py parser honor strings when it looks for ":".

The problem comes from Scribe removing comments, so anything starting with //. I am working on a fix right now.
