The explanation for this is that you're now running startx (or the openbsd 
equiv if it's called differently) from a login shell, so Xsession is also run 
in a login shell, making the rest also work.

Why XDM doesn't do it in a similar fashion is of course left to the openbsd or 
X people.

Do I also understand correctly that before this "regression" you were also not 
using XDM? In other words, it's not the KDE upgrade but the move to XDM that 
caused the bug? If not there is still something to fix somewhere after all :)
