There is no full URL inside the m3u8 playlist but it generates a file
which concatenated with playlist URL - gives an URL that can be played.
But AFAICT it can only be "played once" and then it becomes invalid -
LMS looks at an URL twice (initially to check the format and then
secondly to tell player to play it)  and I think this is breaking the
URL as URL is invalid on the second attempt.  

What a weird setup and some sort of lame attempt at protection or
preventing something which I can't figure out.

I think another problem is that it is not streamed http/AAC but in fact
it is a MPEG4 Podcast with an AAC audio component and possibly a dash of
Apple proprietary streaming  (its MIME is application/vnd.apple.mpegurl)
. MPEG4 podcast need a LMS as they are not v. streaming friendly - they
really expect to be downloaded where the play can then seek up and down
the file to find headers.  My guess I think VLC downloads most fo the
file before it starts
