^^^ this is what usually happens, and it's what I do in any game I deal*.
 
I suspect in the rule above they literally do mean the first two cards off the deck, for the following reasons:
 
 - If it's one of the first two cards off the deck (ie: the small and big blind's first down cards, respectively), no significant action has taken place and not much time has been lost.  So taking the cards back and reshuffling shouldn't be such a big deal.
 
 - After the first two cards have been dealt successfully, I assume they go with the "exposed card = burn card" rule.
 
 - Omaha is also a flop game, so if the rule were referring to everyone's first two hole cards it'd leave a gaping hole: what if MP1's third hole card is exposed?  I'd be surprised if they made a gaffe like that in the official rules.
 
Also, the rule about downcards is set out much more clearly in the stud example (which is that way, I guess, because stud relies on information from other upcards so much that one more exposed card could be a bigger problem than in hold 'em).
