What ppp0 configuration do you have? The ppp0 interface was alive when you executed net.ppp0 stop?

Yep, I saw it too when I kill pppoe-server at the other end. I guess pppd returns an error code in this case. Roy, please replace "eend $?" line at the end of pppd_stop() with "eend 0". I've tested this solution successfully (pppd process gets killed and the ppp0 interface is removed even if start-stop-daemon returns error).
huh ? that doesnt sound like a fix at all to me
I've investigated a little further. When the peer is dead, start-stop-daemon return 1 even though pppd process was killed by this call (probably after ssd returns, but pppd is killed nevertheless). If I add --retry 60 to the ssd command line, ssd return 0 after a few seconds. My proposal is to set timeout to at least 15 seconds.
I've added a --retry to the pppd.sh file in our svn.
Fixed in baselayout-1.12.5-r1
