Sorry, but I don't know how to fix this. We need someone who actually understands network manager internals, and the PPTP plugin.

I can confirm this works correctly on a desktop machine. So it's some kind of ARM / phone platform related incompatibility.

We'll remove the support in vpn UI for now for pptp until this gets fixed so we can at least release openVPN support
