|Do you have 'ipcp-accept-local' set somewhere? From the pppd man page:
I know what the man pages say. The debug PPP log shows that pppd requests
0.0.0.0 at the very start of IPCP negotiation rather than the local IP
address that is specified. The specified local IP address never enters
into the negotiations. This does not happen with ppp-2.3.x, x=5,7,8 - only
with ppp-2.3..9 and ppp-2.3.10.
BTW all the testing was done as root.
