This has been fixed at some point. Here's a snippet from openvpn-build/windows-nsis/openvpn.nsi : 

!ifdef USE_OPENVPN_GUI
Section /o "${PACKAGE_NAME} GUI" SecOpenVPNGUI

        SetOverwrite on
        SetOutPath "$INSTDIR\bin"

        File "${OPENVPN_ROOT}\bin\openvpn-gui.exe"

        ${If} ${SectionIsSelected} ${SecAddShortcutsWorkaround}
                CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS\${PACKAGE_NAME}"
                CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\${PACKAGE_NAME}\${PACKAGE_NAME} GUI.lnk" "$INSTDIR\bin\openvpn-gui.exe" ""
                CreateShortcut "$DESKTOP\${PACKAGE_NAME} GUI.lnk" "$INSTDIR\bin\openvpn-gui.exe"
        ${EndIf}
SectionEnd
!endif

The shortcut is clearly created in the openvpn-gui installation segment.

Closing as fixed.
