I have found someone else with much the same problem.
http://www.wakoond.hu/2012/01/openwrt-l2tpipsec-server.html

I have also found that restarting openswan only (i.e. leaving
the l2tp daemon running) was sufficient to "fix" things.

And I have also found reports of strongswan running reliably
on openwrt.

So I am going to try that instead.
