I'd tried that several times, before posting. After some time with Google, I found a thread, Another connection problem, on the RPCEmu mailing list, from a couple of years ago, in which David Feugey noted the same error messages. The solution then, as now, was to downgrade OpenVPN to version 2.1.3, which creates Tap-win32 version 9.7.0. This is compatible with Win 7 Pro, whereas at least one later version seems not to be. Having changed the TAP driver, the errors have gone, and all is well. Many thanks for your response.
