They can also pick someone in say, January, for that year's election, as long as it is before OR's traditional May primary.

If so, the minor party should make it clear that signators should not expect to vote in their primary. Also, is there any case law about this type of restriction? I assume that the major parties consider this to be casting a second ballot in a primary. Is Oregon one of the states that allows minor parties to collect signatures before the primary?

It makes it illegal for any MAJOR party member who voted in the primary to sign a petition for any office contested in the primary. The penalty is that the person's signature doesn't count on the petition, nothing else. Not true.
