It is indeed a security measure. You cannot put a malware in that path unless you are admin or an admin sets HKLM\Software\OpenVPN's default value to a location wriite-able by you. In either case an admin's blessing is needed. As the service runs as system and executes certain requests from openvpn.exe that it starts on a limited user's behalf, this protection is necessary and is deliberately imposed.
