Yes, I see the same, which I feel is a systemd bug. The escaping trick works only with the 'enable' command, not stop or start. Dumb. As an experiment you might try systemctl start openvpn\* or even openvpn[@]eeepc in case regexps might work. BTW the .service is optional, systemd assumes it as the default.
