I checked the errata for OpenBSD 4.5, but saw nothing that looked related.
I applied the patch to the 0831 snapshot and am building it now. After we find the minimal patch, as Jean-Louis said, I'll post on the OpenBSD-misc list to see if anyone has an explanation.

Thanks guys for working on this - I know it's a frustrating one.

This is starting to look like a kernel bug -- is there an associated
OpenBSD bug or something that we could reference in comments in the
code to explain this strange formulation?  Also, we'll probably need
to do this everywhere we fork and plumb a new process -- in
pipespawn.c at least.
