Until yesterday I've been using an old version of gip to fetch radio programmes. This is on my usual "Ain't broke" -> "Don't fix" basis. However yesterday when I tried to get the latest set of R3 Proms files it failed for the items that started with the pids that begin with 'm'.
The first prom with an m prefix seems to be Prom 52, m00006pc. I have just tried to download it with get_iplayer 3.17 using hafhigh and dafhigh. There did not appear to be any problem, although I did not run the downloads to completion. The default modes were hafhigh1 and dafhigh1, both of which used the Limelight CDN.
I was a bit too slow starting downloads of Proms. I missed Prom 1 (although I did get the headphone version of The Planets). I had problems similar to the ones you describe with Proms 2 and 3 (with a b prefix) with the Akamai CDN (hafhigh2). These went away when I retried with the Limelight CDN (hafhigh1) which was also a lot faster. I have not had any further problems since.
I generally prefer Akamai for television programmes, but it may not be a good choice for radio.
