Unfortunately all of 'ovs-ofctl mod-port <dev> up', ifconfig <dev> up, and 'ip link set <dev> up'
do not affect the status of the port.

I made a simple test just with OVS 1.4.0 from Ubuntu 12.04.

According to the ovs-vswitchd log, the port moved to the namespace is invisible to OVS. /var/log/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.log says "ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) on port1 device failed: No such device" and "failed to get flags for network device port1: No such device".

Of course I agreed that in general it is not a good direction to increase variations of interface drivers.
