This sounds like a bug in ifupdown, as I thing DHCP should not be started before the interface signals it has link up.
As to your original problem, I think a hackish fix would be to put a 'touch somefile' as post-up in interfaces file and then have the openvpn script check for this file. I can't bet on it, but I think ifupdown already creates such a file somewhere in /var/run. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
