There's hope: next OpenWRT release will provide Tor v0.4.1.5, so it's just a matter of waiting for this to be released.

Ok, sounds good.
I notice that there is an 0.4.1.6 out, as of almost a month ago, and as we wait longer there will probably be a few more point releases. I don't see any huge bugs addressed in the 0.4.1.6 minor version, but that doesn't mean anything about whether the next minor version will have something important.
I also looked a bit at the init script: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/master/net/tor/files/tor.init and it doesn't do things like raising the max number of file descriptors ("ulimit -n") so it will have problems being a proper relay.
In sum, I would say to be wary of running a relay with the current (or upcoming) openwrt package, because it is missing many of the things that a proper Tor package should have. Maybe that means we should encourage you to fix up the openwrt package? Or maybe that means we should warn people away from it? :)
