I had a similar problem a year or two ago. It's a bit hazy but from what I remember the iptables script wouldn't run if put in /etc/sysconfig/iptables, I actually had to run it separately after networking had been brought up (ran from rc.local I think). All I could put it down to was that as the ppp0 device is not a piece of hardware that exists before networking is brought up, iptables couldn't reference it (I could very well be wrong...). This unfortunately means that there could be a small window of opportunity for hackers depending on your configuration. Wasn't a problem for me because I had set up ppp for dial on demand so iptables was up and running before the system was connected.
