   Unfortunately, the input-file is never read by the program. Thus, given
   a none empty input file, and a program file containing:  BEGIN {print
   $0} it prints nothing.

I suspect it prints a newline.

   However,   c:\gawk "{print $0}" input-file1  works fine.

You are comparing 

    BEGIN {print $0}
with
    {print $0}

in your examples.  These are not the same.  Remove BEGIN in program-file,
and run the test again.
