mapIdentifiers needs to know where to look for the map. I guess the
way you created gss means that it doesn't know about the organism
you're using, and EntrezIdentifier() also doesn't. What you want is

> mapIdentifiers(gss, EntrezIdentifier("org.Mm.eg.db"))
GeneSetCollection
  names: chr5q23, chr16q24 (2 total)
  unique identifiers:  (0 total)
  types in collection:
    geneIdType: EntrezIdentifier (1 total)
    collectionType: BroadCollection (1 total)

Here I'm using (and I guess you are too) the gss that comes from
example(getBroadSets). These are human genes, and have no
corresponding mouse equivalents (see below)...

This is becaus the identifiers are not in mouse

> ids <- unique(unlist(geneIds(gss)))
> egs <- mget(ids, revmap(mouse4302ENTREZID), ifnotfound=NA)
> sum(!sapply(egs, is.na))
[1] 0
