Looking over the init script, it's presumably because vlc runs unprivileged as the "pi" user which does not have access to use port 80.
Stretching back into distant memory, I recall vlc didn't like running as root and it would probably be a terrible idea anyway.
Best answer I can find is to use setcap to allow the vlc binary access to port 80:
sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/bin/vlc
That could be coupled with this changeset to make changing port/pass easier:
diff --git a/projects/vlc-radio/vlcd/usr/bin/vlcd b/projects/vlc-radio/vlcd/usr/bin/vlcd
