No version of Open vSwitch ever generates or modifies DHCP messages. If
Open vSwitch sends a DHCP message to the controller in a packet-in, and
the packet-in does not show a magic cookie or option bytes, then it is
because, when Open vSwitch received the DHCP message, it did not have a
magic cookie or option bytes.
I can't speak for other OpenFlow implementations.
