This is what I downloaded today.. all are actually aac files (according 
to MediaInfo), with 4 calling themselves mp3
The_Devil_in_Amber_-_Episode_1_b00tvk9s_default.*mp3*
We_Can_Remember_It_for_You_Wholesale_-_Episode_1_b007jpky_default.*mp3
*The_Nine_Billion_Names_of_God_-_1._The_Nine_Billion_Names_of_God_b00zzwfq_default*.mp3
*Torchwood_-_Lost_Souls_b00zzwfn_default.*mp3
*
 From history (below), looks like they were downloaded as flashaacstd1*
*The flashaaclow1 ones seem to come out as aac

from my options:
radiomode iphone,flashaachigh,rtmp,flashaudio,flashaacstd,flashaaclow,wma

My IP addy may appear to be US (in IBM office)... so I tried again using 
a proxy, and --force for Torchwood and got a different file.. so it 
maybe just the "UK" versions with the wrong extension.
This did happen for a while before, but it resolved itself.. maybe the 
BBC have restricted the international version.

Unfortunately, I could not tell you what version I am running...
it was 2.79, but I have applied various patches over the last few months 
(including R7->R4X today)
I prefer aac to m4a, as I can convert them to mp3 via WinLame... and 
have no interest in tags, so have not applied any of those patches.
but I cannot see how any of the the patches would affect the file name.
I am a programmer by trade, (and out of work after tomorrow), so quite 
happy editing the code....
