I can reproduce the problem with 3.1.4 on a SuSE 9.3.

Locale seems to be no issue.
I tried with C and with de_DE.UTF-8.

locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=C

# with 3.1.4 from SuSE 9.3
echo 0xe | gawk '{print strtonum($1)}'
0

# with 3.1.5 from XMLgawk project in the same locale
echo 0xe | ./gawk '{print strtonum($1)}'
14
