That's pretty normal. I think the application using the tun device is
supposed to create them by issueing a few (?) syscalls. FYI, openvpn
can do this and can create persistent tun-Sockets. you may want to
emerge openvpn and enter the following in /etc/conf.d/local.start:
---snip
openvpn --mktun --dev tun0
---snip
Udev should then take care of creating the device.
