Try the equivalent of:
get_iplayer --info 12998
to see if the modes (streams) are actually there. I've found that
sometimes the streams do go AWOL temporarily, presumably due to server
glitches at the BBC end.
If I use '--modes=best' then I do get it:

This is difficult to assess since your version of FLVStreamer is
obsolete. I would suggest trying rtmpdump (>= 2.3) instead. At a
minimum, you won't get the occasional drop/resume cycles due to lack of
SWF Verification. Any resulting overlaps in the output file could be
causing problems for ffmpeg.

This is difficult to assess since your version of ffmpeg is also
obsolete. Something could actually be wrong with the file due to
FLVStreamer problems, or it may be that more recent versions of ffmpeg
are more robust in handling FLV files. Since you only have occasional
glitches, it seems more likely to be the former.
In my config file (besides 'output', 'command mv ...' and a hideously long
'exclude' regexp) I have:

The 'modes' line is ancient. Should I be using something else these days or is
there
another explanation for the failing download (with the options above) or the
slow
download (when mode overruled on command line)?
Removing iphone (long dead) will also get rid of the "ERROR: Failed to
get iphone URL from iplayer site" message. Otherwise it looks OK. You
could add flashhd and flashvhigh if you want higher quality video.
