So there are lots of out of order packets, but that's to be expected with round-robin multilink ppp. I ran these after downloading three copies of the linux kernel in parallel, and there are no packets that were reassembled.
Even working in round-robin mode ppp avoids packet reordering as it may lead to problems with compression/encryption protocols. Multilink header includes serial number especially for this purpose.
I seem to recall that mpd did not support either packet splitting or round-robin (I forget which, and I forget where I read it), and since my connection to TekSavvy uses both of these, it might be a non-starter.
Mpd supports both. There were some mistakes in multilink transmission part of ng_ppp kernel module working in splitting mode that in some cases could lead to ineffective packet distribution, but they were fixed 8 months ago at 6-STABLE.
