Hello,

In the prog 4.6.0 release notes, one can read :

  o MAJOR: Rework pj_transform() to avoid applying ellipsoid to ellipsoid
    transformations as a datum shift when no datum info is available.

So yes, a datum definition is mandatory if you want to perform a 
transformation.
The definition of epsg::25832 in the epsg file is incorrect.

Regards,
Jean-Claude
