OpenBSD doesn't have a bug tracker, I posted to an internal mailing list.  The fix will be in OpenBSD 5.0, released in November.

I recommend not making any changes.  Now that the code works on OpenBSD, I don't see the point of adding an exception to support older versions.  OpenBSD users are strongly encouraged to upgrade every 6 months when a new version is released, so there won't be that many people running < 5.0 a year from now.
