Actually, the vendors declares 
(https://www.allnet.de/en/allnet-brand/produkte/neuheiten/p/-0c35cc9ea9/):

*ALLNET ALL4781-VDSL2-SFP* is a VDSL2 SFP modem that interconnects with 
Gateway Processor by using a MSA (MultiSource Agreement) compliant hot 
pluggable electrical interface.

Ok, "a MSA" does not explicitly state/imply SFP MSA but what other MSA 
could that be?
If it is indeed SFP MSA conform the issue should not happen. Unless it 
is just marketing speak and does not hold true.
