Sounds like a problem to drive you insane. ;-)

Turn on 'debug' in the server (/etc/ppp/options), then lets see the 
following:

A copy of your syslog from the first and second connection attempts
a 'ps auxw" on the server after the second attempt fails.
a copy of the command line option you used to launch pppoe-server.

Also - what host operating system you got (linux version and so forth)?
