According to Frank Heckenbach:

Just wondering - what's the difference between "Const" and "Protected" parameters? Are they only handled differently internally in the compiler, or is there any semantic difference?

`Protected' is a "modifier" which can be used with or without `Var' in formal parameters. `Const' parameters are the same as `protected Var' parameters, thus `protected Var' also yields a workaround for the "`protected' in GPI files" bug.

Another set problem is the following: [...] Again, more or less random values. It's probably another instance of the problem with initialized set variables - I just wanted to mention it.

I am adding this to ... you know. Thanks again!

But after I could work around this, too, now my program compiles and runs with gpc for the first time! :-) And a whole lot faster than compiled with BP! :-)
