Why are you calling "print" after dumping the contents of the vars
array? It prints out $0. You are getting confused by that.
If you modify the function like so, the problem should become obvious
to you:

function dump() {
    for (i in vars) printf ("%s:%s ", i, vars[i])
    printf "\n"
    print "And I'm also printing $0 here for some unknown reason"
    print
    delete vars
}

Also, FYI, you don't need those semicolons at the end of each line.
A semicolon is needed only to separate two statements that are on
the same line (and not separated by a linefeed).
