Such setups should always be prepared so that they run their "firstboot", not just for this case but also for e.g. generating unique sshd keys etc. This is how "Linux in the cloud" is treated, and I really don't see why anyone would think differently for OpenBSD. In OpenBSD's case the seed file is also rendered anew by rc on each boot. If you believe you have a substantial case against their design I urge you to bring it up on their mailing lists, as everyone would benefit from the insight and the improvements.
