Possible, but unlikely.  They'd have to be faking the PPTP headers but
then falling down on the encryption portion.  Why bother?  It's not
even disruptive, let alone a serious threat, and there are obviously
much better things in the world to attack.  Even sending out random
TCP RST packets to snipe away connections is a worse thing to do, and
it's far simpler.

My money would be split on two bets: a bug in MPPE or a high
underlying packet loss/reordering rate.
