Looking more closely, I see

        if self.opt.oas:
            kv['PRODUCT_NAME'] = "OpenVPNAS"
            kv['PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_DEVICE_DESCRIPTION'] = "TAP-Win32 Adapter OAS (NDIS 6.0)"
            kv['PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_PROVIDER'] = "TAP-Win32 Provider OAS"
            kv['PRODUCT_TAP_WIN_COMPONENT_ID'] = "tapoas"

in the tap-windows6 build script...   so I'd assume that there is a 
commercial OpenVPN client (Connect or PrivateTunnel) on that machine, 
and it brought the new driver with it.

But that's pure guesswork.
