There is no evidence of a bug here yet. You're getting logs reporting that the connecton was terminated because of a short read on GRE packets, and timeouts. I'd suggest looking at whether the underlying connections are properly established first -- for instance, wlan0 appears to be getting turned up while you're connecting to the vpn, so maybe the default route is changing?

Please see if you can add any additional information to this bug report. Thanks!
