Sorta. It's more likely to be a conflict in ppp options between PPPoE
and 
plain ppp, and/or stuff in /etc/ppp/ip-(up|down){.local} making (false) 
assumptions about what's going on.

If you have a copy of your old /etc/ppp/options file you can try copying
that 
to /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 (or whatever port your modem's tied to).
Starting 
pppd with the `debug' option and any chat scripts with `-v' might give
you 
some useful info (usually in syslog AKA /var/log/messages).

In the ip-(up|down) scripts, you can check IP addresses, ipparam
arguments, 
device names and other stuff to decide what kind of ppp connection this 
instance of the script is involved with and do different things for
PPPoE and 
`PPPoSerial' as appropriate. Try `man pppd' for more options than you
thought 
necessary, and a description of the parameters and envars passed to the
ip-* 
scripts.
