Thanks for the additional information.

The only thing I can think of is that the ordering of the arguments on
the command line is somehow responsible for this error.  Here's the
command line executed by the ob-awk/input-src-block-1 awk test,

    $ awk -f /tmp/babel-66681az/awk-6668uW2

where /tmp/babel-66681az/awk-6668uW2 has the following content.

,----
| {
|     print 42+$1
| }
`----

The command is invoked with `call-process-shell-command'.

Are these failures only present *after* these recent changes to ob-awk?
I can't think of how these changes could be related to this STDIN error.

I would be surprised if this "C-c C-v C-v" is caused by my recent
changes to awk's variable handling.  Can you find the offend commit here
(or at least check if the problem is new)?

Thanks,
