"syntax => 'SHORT'" is default, nowadays.

Ah, confusing!  This controls the logging by the daemon, but does not
collect the logging of the application.  The XML::Compile errors are
not directed towards this.  (The ::AnyDaemon implementation naturally
merges the two, because that one also uses Log::Report)

To collect the logs from all modules which were build using Log::Report,
you do this in the main of your application:

  dispatcher 'Log::Report::Dispatcher::Log4perl', 'default'
    , config => $l4p_config_file;

This dispatcher will have name "default", and implies closing the
existing dispatcher named "default" which sends the output to the
screen.

This week, for an other project, I rewrote this dispatcher... but had
no chance to test it yet.  You may try it, find it attached.

This probably has to do the the mime-type on the returned WSDL.  The
browser is configured what to do with certain received mime-type.  If
the type is unknown, it asks you what to do.

The response is created in lib/XML/Compile/SOAP/Daemon/LWPutil.pm
sub lwp_wsdl_response with content-type
    Content-Type" => 'application/wsdl+xml; charset="utf-8"
I believe that the type is correct.
