 netcf on my machine.

Ok I reproduced this in a VM. I used the stock Debian 7 install netcf 
version 0.1.9 which exhibits the fault just as well, so no backporting 
required.

The server is (as before) a Debian 7.11 box.
I downloaded rp-pppoe and compiled it up on the server.

Moved into the rp-pppoe-3.12/src directory.
Created these two files :
root@srv:~/src/rp-pppoe-3.12/src# cat allip
10.0.1.2-200

root@srv:~/src/rp-pppoe-3.12/src# cat pppoe-server-options
#require-pap
noauth
lcp-echo-interval 10
lcp-echo-failure 2
ms-dns 192.168.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
usepeerdns
nobsdcomp
noccp
novj
noipx

And ran the server :
./pppoe-server -I br1 -C isp -S jimmy -L 10.0.1.1 -O 
`pwd`/pppoe-server-options -p `pwd`/allip -q /usr/sbin/pppd -Q 
`pwd`/pppoe -F

The VM is a stock Debian VM installed from the Debian 7.5 netinst and 
upgraded to the latest packages. The VM is run on KVM and the network 
interface is bound to br2.

Install ppp and netcf. Created :
root@...ian64:/home/brad# cat /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider
debug
noipdefault
noauth
persist
maxfail 0
plugin rp-pppoe.so eth0

And added the following to /etc/network/interfaces:

auto dsl-provider
iface dsl-provider inet ppp
	provider dsl-provider

With the stock debian kernel this brings up the ppp0 interface, and 
ncftool works fine.

I compiled up a 4.8.12 kernel with the attached config (static kernel, 
no modules) resulting in :

Hope this helps.
