The Windows kernel should be able to read the changes to the Windows
partition off the disk.  It shouldn't matter whether the disk is written
to from OpenBSD, Windows or any other OS, as long as the data on the
partition is kept in a consistent state.

The problem is that OpenBSD is not properly flushing all its changes to
the FAT partition before it reboots.
