I haven't drilled into it, but the openVPN uid _openvpn doesn't appear to have authority to effect the tun0 ifconfig nor the route add. By letting it happen through the hostname.tun0, it "just works."
Perhaps someone knows a better fix. It may be related to the fact that I mimicked -- likely imperfectly -- the _openvpn uid/gid framwork of openvpn 2.0.n package install.
