It does not allow you a MTU setting greater that what the ppp ipcp
negotiation said your peer would accept. Bring the link down, set mtu high,
check mtu and bring the link back up. You'll probably see a higher mtu with
the link down, but as soon as it goes up, it will be at the value your peer
requested.

Of course there could be a bug in there, so you may check the ppp negotiation
with tcpdump (or ifconfig pppoe0 debug).
