PPPoE makes more sense to me.. l2tp doesn't.

PPPoE makes no sense to me, L2TP does. PPPoE makes sense on ADSL where it's (encapsulated) ethernet to the BRAS. VM doesn't give you an ethernet link to the VPN "server", the ethernet is terminated at the local CMTS, the remainder of the path being over VM's standard IP core.

PPPoE to the CMTS, which strips the 'oE' bit and puts the PPP session into its L2TP tunnel to the BRAS.

I suspect you're wrong and the Superhub directly creates the L2TP tunnel itself.
This is because a) if it were PPPoE to the CMTS, then there would be no reason for the Superhub to be issued a public routablle DHCP IP on it's cable interface and b) There are both PPP(non-oE) and L2TP up/down messages in the Superhub's local event log.
