Looking at the report again, I see that I'd not followed up noting a fix.
But I was looking at current code, which uses memchr in that position.
The change is noted here:

20090920
        + two changes for embedded nulls, allows FS to be either a null or
          contain a character class with null, e.g., '\000' or '[ \000]':

          + modify built-in regular expression functions to accept embedded
            nulls.

          + modify input reader FINgets() to accept embedded nulls in data read
            from files.  Data read from standard input is line-buffered, and is
            still null-terminated.

The actual check-in comment was:

REV:1.13                fin.c               2009/09/13 21:40:12       tom

   modify so FINgets() can return embedded nulls in data read from file.

For what it's worth, reporting bugs against Debian's version of mawk is
a pointless exercise.  But I do read the reports in case a new bug is
reported there.
