If you use a plugin (e.g. YD Network-wide options) for propagating options in a multisite installation from a master site to all subsequent sites you have to disable Options Framework before copying. Also all themes active on the multisite should be compatible with the options setup of Options Framework.

(1) Enable Options Framework and configure the master site.
(2) After configuration disable Options Framework.
(3) When using plugin "YD Network-wide options" check field 'optionsframework'. The serial data displayed with this field does contain the name of the field which holds the detailed options configuration of "Options Framework" (e.g. twentyelevenmytheme). Also check this field.
(4) Propagate this both fields to the subsequent sites.
(5) Enable Options Framework for the whole network.
(6) Displaying the Theme Options in the admin of a subsequent site should now display the same configuration as in the master site.

If a subsequent site uses another theme than the master site, Options Framework automatically creates a copy of the configuration and stores it under a sanitized name of the other theme (as I understood the code).
