As far as it being an ISP issue, I work for the ISP I use. ;-) I haven't
heard of any other issues from our support department involving pptp
connections, although with various hardware and etc, no one else may
experience the same problem I am. 

I'd say the firewall I'm behind at the remote location may be causing
the issue, but it doesn't boot me out of the other connection so I don't
believe that would be the problem. 

The buggy NAT implementation seems the most likely culprit. What would
be my best route at troubleshooting the pfsense NAT I'm running. My
network setup is fairly simple, only a few internal nat'd machines and
just a few firewall rules with no traffic shaping.

I'd also look at a buggy NAT implementation or some other issue with the
firewall your client is behind. Tons of firewalls seem to have various
issues in dealing with GRE and break it in various ways. Even though
it's not an issue with one PPTP connection, this could still easily be
the case for several reasons.
