Actually, I have just checked how fbpanel behaves with openbox and though it works as it should, I got the same message

can't chdir to /usr/share/openbox

Yep, that was where I was leading with the comment about strange assumptions; it sees that there is an EWMH support window with the name "xmonad" or "openbox" and goes looking for window manager configuration in a standard location. This probably only works right with desktop environments, not standalone window managers.
