woops ... almost forgot, OpenBSD introduced interface cloning lately so this 
issue might come up there as well.

Is it possible that we see a work-around for not-yet created interfaces in 
OpenBSD, anytime - soon?

I didn't think about this to the end ... but it would not hurt (too much) to 
have rules for non-existent interfaces. As long as they are not used in 
route-to context that is.
