WCF fails to deserialize correct(?) response message security headers (Security header is empty)

I'm communicating with an OC4J webservice, using a WCF client. The client is configured as follows:

        <basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="MyBinding">
 <security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
  <transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None" realm=""/>
  <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default"/>
 </security>
</binding>

My clientcode looks as follows:

    ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = new AcceptAllCertificatePolicy();

    string username = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["user"];
    string password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["pass"];

    // client instance maken
    WebserviceClient client = new WebserviceClient();

    client.Endpoint.Binding = new BasicHttpBinding("MyBinding");

    // credentials toevoegen
    client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = username;
    client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = password;

    //uitvoeren request
    var response = client.Ping();

I've altered the CertificatePolicy to accept all certificates, because I need to insert Charles (ssl proxy) in between client and server to intercept the actual Xml that is sent across te wire.

My request looks as follows:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:u="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">

 </o:UsernameToken>
</o:Security>
</s:Header>
<s:Body>
<getPrdStatus xmlns="http://mynamespace.org/wsdl">

   <a:animalSpeciesCode>RU</a:animalSpeciesCode>
  </a:IsgrStsRequestTypeUser>
 </request>
 </getPrdStatus>
 </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

In return, I receive the following response:

<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ns0="http://mynamespace.org/wsdl">

  <ns0:ranking>17</ns0:ranking>
  </ns0:IsgrStsResponseTypeUser>
 </result>
</ns0:getPrdStatusResponse>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

Why can't WCF deserialize this response header? I'm getting a "Security header is empty" exception:

Server stack trace:

Who knows what is going on here? I've already tried Rick Strahl's suggestion and removed the timestamp from the request header. Any help greatly appreciated!
