In an attempt to track down the problem, I have manually amended the *ind
file so that now it reads, in its entirety:

----

About to begin

\begin{theindex}

Inside begin

  \item BB84, 68

About to end

\end{theindex}

After end

----

The output produced by:

---

This is the index:
\readindexfile{i}
That was the index

---

is:

---

This is the index:
About to begin
That was the index

---

It seems like everything inside the *ind file following the \begin
statement is simply disappearing into the void.

Help, please???

  Doc

PS Before I manually edited it, the *ind file produced by makeindex looked
like this:

\begin{theindex}

  \item BB84, 68

\end{theindex}
