It looks like a BBC issue.  

It looks like the WMA streams will be OK for programs *originally*
broadcast within the last 7 days but if the requested program is older
than 7 days the WMA will be wrong even though the program has been
rebroadcast in the last 7 days.

I'm not sure if the BBC bug is that they have included a WMA media
stream when none is available or whether the WMA URL generation
mechanism is faulty

For example. The Secret History of Social Networking: Episode 1

The first part of the RTMP URL is 
rtmpt://bbcmedia.fcod.llnwd.net/a1414/e3/mp4:radio4/secure_auth/international/RBN2_radio_4_fm_-_wednesday_1100_b00xw0gt_2011_01_26_12_12_06.mp4
The mp4 "file" name seems to have station, day,  hour and  date of the
original broadcast which was 26 Jan 2011  

But the ultimate WMA URL is 
mms://wm.bbc.co.uk/wms2/radio4fmcoyopa/radio_4_fm_-_wednesday_1100.wma
The WMA "file" name only has a station, day and hour but no date and so
will repeat every 7 days whereas the AAC RTMP URL seems to have
additional information including date of original broadcast.
