Perhaps you should post your ip-up and ip-up.local scripts so
we can see what is happening. There are a lot of ifconfig
changes that will delete the default route, the kernel is very
irritating like that.

It looks like diald is running ip/up before pppd has finished
setting up IP addresses. That might be a bug in diald/pppd
cooperation.
I wonder if something as nasty as a 'sleep 5' before the route
command in ip/up might be a solution. Or even better
/sbin/route add default ppp0
sleep 5
/sbin/route add default ppp0
ugly ugly...
