Good news, I've had some time to work on this and I've made several small 
patches for the generic ioquake3 to make it play well together with openarena.

A build for devel is on its way here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=342449

Grep the srpm there and rebuild for F-8, or download the pre build rpms for devel.

The correct command to start openarena is:
quake3 +set fs_homepath $HOME/.openarena +set fs_game baseoa +set cl_master 
dpmaster.deathmask.net

Assuming that ~/.openarena has already been created and populated by the 
current openarena launcher script.
