The opendirectory authentication part of the rlm_mschap module returns directly and all the mppe calculations and responses are bypassed.  This is the case in 2.2.9, 3.0.12, and still in 4.0.x according to github:

  Ah, yes... that magic. :(

I’m not even sure such a patch is possible given my limited understanding of the existing architecture and the opendirectory auth.  My understanding is that opendirectory can be configured to store NTLM hashes of user passwords so *theoretically* it should be possible for od_mschap_auth to calculate nthashhash and provide the resulting mppe keys.  

  The issue is in getting the NT hashes out of OpenDirectory.  It's not overly clear how that happens.

  I'll see if I can find time to take a look.
