I took a look at the handleRootSRSAndBbox method in:
http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/tags/1.6.2/geoserver/wms/src/main/java/org/vfny/geoserver/wms/responses/helpers/WMSCapsTransformer.java

and saw (and tested) that if your GeoServer has no registered feature  
types (e.g. you just have coverages registered), then you'll get a  
common EPSG string of "EPSG:". I'd file a bug.

Looking at the code, you'll also hit this condition if your layer has  
an empty string SRS, but off hand I am not sure if that is possible.

Cheers,
