My knowledge of C is extremly basic, so I really have no idea of debugging this. But what's this in if_spppsubr.c:

/* Keepalive mode disabled or channel down? */
if (! (sp->pp_flags & PP_KEEPALIVE) ||
    ! (ifp->if_flags & IFF_RUNNING))
        continue;

I know there is nothing about LCP echoes in any man pages or such, but I tested with 
tcpdump -vvv -i rtk0 eth src <my mac address> |grep -v psychedelic.baana.suomi.net and got only LCP echo _replies_ from my 
peer.
