Ah yes, that rings a bell.   Scanurl gets called first, and it tries to
use the customized url.   
So, what you need to do is override scanUrl and call up to the real
scanUrl ensuring you pass in the real url into that method.
However, there is a complication, if I remember correctly, that there is
a callback method that is passed in thorugh args.   You have to make
sure that the customized url is passed into that rather than the real
url so you have to do some interception and replace that callback
function with one that does the callback with the real url.   I remember
that caused me pain at the time!
You should just need to copy what I've done in the virgin radio protocol
handler (of course replacing the logic that works out the real url with
your own)
