Unfortunately, that "trick" is no general solution because turning the "ClickPad" option off makes click-and-drag operations with two fingers impossible. If you don't use that "gesture", or perform it with one finger only, the setup might work for you.
I think the issue won't be fixed, for various reasons: synaptics(4) is legacy, there is no active development. It cannot handle that setup coherently because a reasonable treatment of the "ClickFinger" method requires full multitouch data. Only a subset of our hardware drivers provide MT support, and even if these data are available, they aren't passed to userland drivers in OpenBSD. Only wsmouse(4) makes use of them, but it doesn't offer that "click method" for touchpads - hardly anyone has asked for it.
