The following options were enabled and the connection worked

Require Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE)
Refuse 128-bit Encryption
Refuse Stateless Encryption
Refuse to Authenticate with EAP

The only remaining issues are firstly whether the connection error
message could have been more descriptive and also whether these options
should be enabled by default if they are commonly enabled by default on
pptp vpn servers.

This could be common based on the anecdotal evidence since the
workaround was found on a random blog
(http://paraviya.blogspot.com/2007/10/vpn-to-pptp-network-from-ubuntu-
feisty.html). Between my experience and the blogger's it could be a
common scenario for pptp vpns.
