> With the last combination, a large password can be used successfully.
With either an old server or old client, existing limits apply and
a clear error is shown in case one tries a password longer than the
existing limits.

The clear error message is a quite recent change https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/commit/a7f80d402fb95df3c58a8fc5d12cdb8f39c37d3e

You get very weird errors and behaviour on OpenVPN versions older than this commit. So only 2.6.13 or newer will actually give a clear error message.
