This seems like something that should probably be reported upstream unless you have reason to believe it is gentoo-specific?

Since the above code worked in umpteen versions of "gawk" up to and including 5.2.2, the new version potentially breaks plenty of "gawk" programmes. So it could at least be again set to non-stable or even be soft-blocked. Apart from that I simply cannot judge whether or not this is a Gentoo-specific bug.
I've forwarded it upstream at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gawk/2024-01/msg00013.html. They usually respond very quickly to bugs so I'll wait for that first.
