I use a very similar setup; I now have a static IP, but I used the same
technique when I had a dynamic IP;

demand
192.168.88.1:192.168.99.1
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote

This sets up a dummy address on the ppp0 interface when it first boots,
but allows the address to change when the connection is established.

I think the kernel is choking on your 0.0.0.0 choice for a dummy
address. Choose another.

This setting also seems to help:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
