This isn't a bug - openvpn requires elevated privileges which is why it's in /usr/sbin - everything in /usr/sbin requires elevated privileges, which is why it is not in the normal user's path. If you're going to run it, you need to use sudo, or use the network manager interface which has a helper that runs the openvpn parts with the properly elevated privileges.
