There are no problems with local sockets and ppp.  I've just checked 
a RELENG_2_2 system built on September 1.  Try running ppp in auto 
mode with a "set server /my/local/socket" in the config (you don't 
have to actually connect to anything), and then run "pppctl -p xxxx 
/my/local/socket show ipcp".... works ok.

I'd suggest a rebuild of your system.
