I use fiaif and openvpn.  And it works.

I'm using different versions like fiaif1.20.0 (oldest) 1.21.1 (newer)
and openvpn 1.0.9 on 6 different small computers (500-800Mhz, 128-256 Mbyte RAM)
running CentOS 4 and CentOS 5.
They interconnect 6 lan's, and 2 of the firewalls also accept
connections from roadwarriors.
Works very good.

I have DYNAMIC=1 on the vpn zone.
I also have "DEV=tun+" to allow as well tun0 and tun1 on the firewalls
that run as openvpn client and as openvpn server at the same time.

Here is your error.
Somewhere in the zone.vpn is a rule that is resulting
in "iptables ... -p input_vpn ..."
Have a look in the file /tmp/fiaif.out.
