This isn't intentional. The utmp/wtmp updating is not something I use
so if you could debug this (with gdb or whatever) and tell me where
the problem is in the code that would be great.

All this information is in the /var/run/pppd.tdb database. It would
be relatively easy to write a program to pull it out in whatever
format is useful. You would need to use pppd/tdb.h and pppd/tdb.c to
access the database.
