OK, this is more interesting than I thought (and I'd welcome
comments/criticism from others).
Salvatore's question is prompted by a difference in results between
gretl's Breusch-Pagan test for heteroskedasticity (via the command
modtest --breusch-pagan) and the test as implemented in Eviews.
First point: on the face of it there's a difference between the test
actually proposed by Breusch and Pagan (Econometrica, 1979), which I'll
call Test1, and that performed in Eviews, which I'll call Test2.
This old thread from the Stata forum might be relevant:

So maybe power turns around for non-Gaussian scenarios.
