Ralph, it is pretty easy to know what Homebrew uses, c.f. 
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/open-mpi.rb (sorry 
if you meant something else).

That is very likely, though on the other hand, Homebrew is doing something 
pretty straightforward. I just wanted a quick and easy fix back when I had the 
same hanging issue, but there should be a better explanation if 
--enable-mpi-thread-multiple is indeed enough.
