We've experienced similar issues and they are always a client side issue; usually dropped packets. VPNs don't like dropped packets. :-) When we get more than 20-30% dropped packets, we see the VPN start to flap. I start by checking the client IP settings and if I don't find an issue there, I get the ISP involved. Sometimes something as simple as a DSL router reboot cures the problem. I have frequently found line issues when the ISP gets involved, though. My experience has been like yours; extremely limited logging on the client side. There may be a way to crank it up, but I haven't really looked for it. I usually find lower-level errors quickly and work from there...
