This is because the ESP packets are sent using the default route (PPP1) 
and not PPP0, and that probably there is no mean for the second 
provider to properly route trafic using the adress the first provider.

You have to setup the routing process on your linux box in order to use 
the PPP0 interface for all trafic emitted with the address of the PPP0 
interface (IKE and ESP trafic) and use PPP1 interface for all other 
trafic.

Use iproute2 package (ip route command) to do that. See "Linux Advanced 
Routing and Traffic Control Howto" at http://lartc.org/
