Looks like NM forces it to nodeflate internally for some reason. That code has been there since the beginning of PPPoE support I believe. I don't really have a problem making NM respect the user setting for deflate, but I'm a bit concerned about whether this will introduce regressions if for some reason the option negotiation doesn't go right. However, are you able to test out a patch to see if deflate actually works with your provider?
