Comment (by jef):

 The first url is used for the GetCapabilities request.  The
 GetCapabilities response contains an url that is used to the GetMap
 requests that actually load the images to display.

 I suspect that the OnlineResource returned by GetCapabilities points to
 the second url you see.  That would be a problem of the WMS server.

 That would be consistent with the fact that if the layer is initially off,
 checking the visibility box triggers the first GetMap request.
