> Is there something unexpected about empty regexps?

One-true-awk considers the following an error:

awk '// {
    do_something();
}'

the solution is to either use the following (equivalent) code:

awk '{
    do_something();
}'

or apply a simple patch to One-true-awk to make it accept empty
regexps.
