This looks like a real problem with skb and maybe with
dev->hard_header_len. I see you are using vlan module,
so maybe there is some interaction? I don't know ppp
enough, so I CC this message to the ppp list.
I'm not sure HZ change will cure this forever (maybe
some packets are going to the wrong dev?).

If you're willing to experiment, you can try to edit
"include/linux/ppp_defs.h" and change it like this:

#define PPP_HDRLEN	8
#define PPP_MRU		1496

and "include/linux/if_ppp.h":

#define PPP_MTU		1496

plus mru/mtu in your pppd config (and recompile).

But I hope ppp people will propose something better.

Cheers,
Jarek P.
