Any guess what's going on in here?

Are you 100% sure DHCP client is disabled on the interface to the ONT as mentioned by @cbrpilot ?

If Coon wants to PM me his details I can look into it for him and confirm what we can see from our side of the fence.

cbrpilot: Let me explain what can and does happen when you have both DHCP and PPPoE enabled for anyone who is interested in the techy details:

[..]

Hence we don't recommend or support this configuration of having both PPPoE and DHCP enabled on a WAN interface.

I'm curious what is the purpose of the quarantine if you do not support it anyway?

I assume your question relates to why are we triggering the quarantine for DHCP when we don't support it? The answer is that ATA Voice uses DHCP.

/ppp profile
set *0 dns-server=8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 local-address=192.168.88.1 remote-address=\
