Please read the man page:
connect script
Usually there is something which needs to be done to pre‐
pare the link before the PPP protocol can be started [...]
This option specifies an command for pppd to execute (by
passing it to a shell) before attempting to start PPP
negotiation.
disconnect script
Execute the command specified by script, by passing it to a
shell, after pppd has terminated the link.
Are you saying that the ppp protocol is not started when pppoe is used?
You might say that the disconnect script isn't supposed to be run when
something else than pppd has terminated the link --- it wouldn't be a
very useful feature then.

Finally ... I wish you had told me that scrips in if-up/down.d need to
match some special naming to be run. It's not a good idea to quietly
ignore them.
