Summing up, this sounds like the kernel configuration that was shoehorned into
amd64 installer images (and possibly other platforms?) lacks some of the code
that caters to the quirks that show up in certain (newer) USB keyboards.
What is not clear to me is how common those keyboards are, as in is there
significant risk that new users would encounter this in the wild, with a
probability large enough that it would be useful to add a note about this to
say https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#bsd.rd somewhere?
