Like many things in Unix, you are using power tools. If you change root's shell, you need to know what you are doing. Remember that you might find yourself in single user mode with nothing but the root partition mounted. Hence my comment previously about having a statically linked copy of bash in /bin if you want bash as your root shell.
OpenBSD prompts you for a shell name when booting into single-user mode. There's no need for precautions when using a dynamically-linked shell, as you can always just type "/bin/sh" when you need to boot into single-user mode and find yourself without your precious libraries.
OpenBSD makes it harder to burn yourself. :-)
