Turns out that this wasn't the actual problem, but the problem was
"gui not run as administrator".
Which actually moves the issue (for me) towards
- why can't we report a useful message if netsh.exe fails due to lack of
permission?
- why do we happily ignore IPv4 route.exe failures due to lack of
permission? (Which means that the IPv4 case actually hides the problem,
the GUI and OpenVPN pretend that "all worked!" but if you try to connect
something behind the VPN, the routes are just not there...)
Hrm.
