Like I wrote before, some services do not like it when network part they rely on disappears for a (short) while when the network restarts.
In my case Quagga was one of them, it seems OpenVPN is another one.
Unless you really want to debug why, Just create a script that does a service network restart first and then a service openvpn restart
