The clue is here:

For whatever reason, sometimes one or the other of the BBC CDNs 
(Limelight in this case) won't serve a stream.  Unlike when it's 
recording a live tv stream, get_iplayer can't roll over to another CDN 
when rtmpdump is streaming output (to mplayer in this case) and fails 
due to server error.

You can try to direct get_iplayer to the single (working) CDN by adding 
a numeral to your mode values, e.g.:

--modes=flashvhigh2,flashhigh2,flashstd2

It may take a few attempts, and you may need to flip the 2s to 1s.  The 
numerals are not fixed to a specific CDN since the streams may be 
presented to get_iplayer in a different order at different times.
