Hmmm, in that case, why not have a script /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/00eth0 which 
restarts eth0 (runs ifdown eth0; ifup eth0) and move the script 00ipmasq to 
20ipmasq? That should mean that activating ppp0 will sort that out for you.

Unless you are saying that activating ppp0 (using pon/poff) does not run 
00ipmasq either, in which case you need somehow to find out why it is not. 
Checking any other configuration files in /etc/ppp would be my first port of 
call in this case.
