Hello This is the first time I am responding to a post that is not my mine. I hope it is not too uninformed.
Anyway, back in about October, 2016, I noticed that the included dhcp client would no longer assign an alias address alongside the address from the dhcp lease. Before about this time, I seem to recall, it would. My solution was to use the isc-dhcp-client from ports. But, that also had some issues. My solution (and if it is a poor solution, sorry) is on the mailing list at: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc <https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=147638874608453&w=2> &m=147638874608453&w=2 It is working as expected through my last update of current, which was about 2 months ago.
