Perhaps the router isn't seeing the CONFREQ from the other router so is sending it's own. I've seen this kind of activity when troubleshooting PPP problems. Could be a line issue of some sort, code issue, misconfiguration perhaps, etc.
What type of connection is this (Point to point, ISDN, etc)? You're best bet would be to post the debug output here from both routers (debug ppp nego). Set the timestamp to datetime format also (service timestamp debug datetime msec).
