I was able to work around this by doing two things:

1. Deactivate any other interfaces that have a default route configured.
   In my case a local ethernet lan, thus do "ifdown eth0"

2. Uncheck the option in PPP to add a default route after connection is
   established. I do this manually afterwards.

This started happening since ppp-2.3.9-1mdk for me.

Good Luck
