[Icecast] Problem with fallback on 2.31 on Windows XP

If this isn't supported, then I apologize for the disruption, I'll
just tell my customer / client / friend it's time to seriously rethink
what they're trying to do. If support is possible, here's the problem:
I took a running icecast.xml file from a configuration that works. It
has live, backup, and listener (called /broadband) mount points. A
continuously running stream connects to /backup to provide a fallback,
another stream can connect to /live, and listeners listen on
/broadband. This config worked on a 2.42 Linux system, so I just
dropped it into place as-is on the 2.31 XP system, but it does not
work. The stream can connect to /backup, but when a listener tries to
connect to /broadband, they get 404 in their media player. I suspect
I've bungled the relay or fallback setup and would greatly appreciate
help fixing it.
