Another comment I can pass on is that the June changes may mean that
master playlists from before that change might need updating. I had
assumed this wouldn't be a problem here, but I should have mentioned
it before, just in case!


OK. Just to clarify for my own sake as I want to check I understand
correctly... 

Is it the case than when I use MPEG-DASH to fetch the 320k radio streams,
the above means that they may well suffer 'blips' or similar effects due to
the problems?

OK. I'll pass that on. :-)
