Apologies - I accidentally clicked submit too soon.

The problem is that making any change and saving the page will brick the PPPoE interface permanently. The most recent time, I had only unchecked "Block private networks and loopback addresses". Immediately, the WAN link stops working.

I tried setting it to static IP and then back to PPPoE, but it is still broken. The only solution was to either rollback the configuration, or re-run the initial network setup wizard. Running the wizard isn't ideal since it means having to reapply our other configuration as well.
