A circuit analysis program will not even look at VA, resonance, etc. It
will just build a system of equations that takes everything into
account,
in a way that is totally impractical for humans to use (;-)) and
calculate
the voltages and currents that the user specifies. Specially in the case
of purely linear circuits, as the circuits are in this case, it's very 
unlikely that grossly incorrect results can result. 
So, the -interpretation- of the results is that is strange.
Physics doesn't forbid power gain in limited time intervals. You see
this
every time when you use a hammer (or a Tesla coil). What is strictly 
forbidden is permanent energy gain. If there is some flaw in physics, 
it's surely not in the theory of linear circuits. This is not even 
physics, but just mathematics. -Models-, simplifications where actual 
devices are described by the simplest possible mathematical
descriptions.
