i just ran awk from sources.  it produces the same
output as you produced for p9p awk.  if you say
that p9p awk is wrong, then plan 9 awk is wrong
too since it produces the same output.

here's what you had:

	;9 awk 'BEGIN {OFMT="%.0f"; print 17.23}'
	17.23
	;awk 'BEGIN {OFMT="%.0f"; print 17.23}'
	17

and here's what the awk as distributed on sources does
	minooka; /n/sources/plan9/386/bin/awk 'BEGIN {OFMT="%.0f"; print 17.23}'
	17.23

yet here's what the awk done with bwk's current sources does
	minooka; awk 'BEGIN {OFMT="%.0f"; print 17.23}'
	17
