And while I've never mucked about with escaped characters inside a hostname.<if> file, the file is parsed by /etc/netstart, a bourne shell script.

I wouldn't reinstall OpenBSD again if that doesn't work !
Test it yourself, from any *nix shell, like so:
Code:
$ echo Command A in background & echo Command B in foreground
[1] 24715
Command B in foreground
$ Command A in background

[1] + Done		   echo Command A in background
$ echo Penn \& Teller
Penn & Teller
$
No need to install the OS. See my .sig for live media.
