I had a similar problem just a few months ago with xl2tpd not being 
encapsulated in the tunnel in some cases.  I just wish I could remember 
what I did.

My config files look about the same as yours except for I have 
rightprotoport=17/1701 -- I don't think I ever got %any to work 
(luckily, I didn't actually need to).

If you do a tcpdump, are your L2TP packets being encapsulated?  (when 
it's not working)
