I can reproduce this on Windows 7 64-bit with support for the Finnish language. In my case the difference is that after running openvpn --version no Finnish characters (äöå) appear on the screen, but pressing return after typing them crashes the command prompt.
Before running openvpn --version the command prompt accepts the special characters just fine.
