Aha!  On most other clients I have checked, the node type was 'unknown'. 
The laptop in question shows 'mixed'.  From what I read in the KB article, 
the node type is handed out by the DHCP server.  I highly doubt that my 
OpenVPN server was the culprit, but it's important to mention that I've been 
using this same laptop to configure my new DSL Modem as well as configuring 
a few routers and such, all of which have handed out IP addresses.  My guess 
is that somewhere down the line, one of them changed its node type to mixed.

On the laptop:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters\DhcpNodeType

...exists, and is hex value '4'

On the other workstations I have checked, this key does not exist. 
Hopefully removing this key will be the solution.  I'll submit an update 
later, for I am unable to bounce the laptop with the lid closed...
