This results from the 'proxyarp' option being passed to pppd. Check
your /etc/ppp/options file or the command line which you use to
start pppd for this option and remove it. Proxyarp allows you to
essentially do routing to ppp-connected machines from an ethernet.
It would seem that you don't have ethernet so you don't need and
can't profit from this.
