I can confirm I get this also, using st (suckless/simple terminal). I have a VPN
script in my net.eno1 script, so the output might differ slightly from yours,
although the strange behaviour seems the same.

I suspect that this is just a silly bug in which a prompt is displayed
prematurely, and since the shell has already dispatched the $PS1, it waits
until <RETURN> is received before showing it again, as it thinks you're in the
process of typing a command. As the "Starting openvpn ..." text is printed to
stdout, when you press enter, it assumes an empty command has been entered and
does nothing but display another prompt.
As a simple demonstration, see what happens when I type a command `echo Hello`
before pressing enter:
[super] root@ad-gentoo-main / # etc/init.d/net.eno1 restart
<... TRIM OUTPUT ...>
[super] root@ad-gentoo-main / # * Starting openvpn ... [ ok ]
* WARNING: openvpn has started, but is inactive
* Mounting network filesystems ... [ ok ]
echo Hello
Hello
<RETURN PRESSED.>
[super] root@ad-gentoo-main / #
