It is actually the kernel that generates a new MAC address for the
tun/tap interface.

You can set the MAC address yourself in the tinc-up script. On Linux for
example:
#!/bin/sh
ip link set $IFACE address 12:34:56:78:9a:bc
# other commands here
If you want to automate it so it automatically stores the
kernel-generated address the first time and reuses it later, you can do
something like this:
#!/bin/sh
macfile=/etc/tinc/$NETNAME/address
if [ -f $macfile ]; then
ip link set $IFACE address `cat $macfile`
else
cat /sys/class/net/$IFACE/address >$macfile
fi
# other commands here
