AppleScript GetURL broken

VLC now appears to be ignoring the scheme name/protocol of all http URLs supplied via AppleScript and just treating the URL as if it were a file. Using either GetURL or OpenURL with AppleScript VLC now prepends the stream MRL with file://// and URL encodes the original URL.

e.g. trying to open http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r4_aaclca.pls gives this in the Error and Warning dialog

File reading failed VLC could not open the file "//http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r4_aaclca.pls" (m).

Your input can't be opened VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:////http%3A//www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r4_aaclca.pls'. Check the log for details.

This behaviour first started with Version 2.1.2 Rincewind (Intel 64bit) but also occurs in Version 2.2.0-git Weatherwax (Intel 64bit)

Opening the URL via VLC's Open Network... > Network dialog works OK in both versions.
