Thanks bpa. 
Having set the "on demand" setting to DASH > HLS & restarted LMS the "no
items in playlist" error message has disappeared. 
Now (on both BBC R4 FM & LW) I get the error message "can't open file
for", but then after a moment the message fades & the item plays
anyway.
Here is the server log from playing the same two items first through R4
FM then R4 LW

So from what you say above - I guess this is just LMS trying (and
failing) to open the bad DASH urls - then playing the items from an HLS
source instead?

P.S. Thought I'd replied to this earlier but it hasn't shown up -
apologies if I end up double posting

4 Squeezebox Radios (firmware 7.7.3-r16676) / LMS (7.7.6-112) running on
a Synology NAS DS412+ (Intel Atom D2700, DSM 6.0-7321 Update 2). 
In BBC iPlayer settings on LMS I have DASH > HLS > MP3 > FlashAAC for
live stream & DASH > HLS for on demand preferences, slide show unticked
