That would have been nice to know, yesterday. Not sure what is causing the issues, but I guess roll back to the other mentioned builds and roll the dice.
EDIT: The *only* thing I could suggest to test is putting your Asus WAN IP as the DMZ host on your ISP equipment's config, if it's possible. Double-NAT'ing could be the issue. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I will test each single release starting from 42460 where it works. However I have to routers (internal used just as a switch and external connecting to ISP), so to be correct need upgrade both each time. Furthermore I am at different location at the moment, not sure if this is good idea to do it over VPN as I will lose eventually connection to the router. Will come back with findings.
I have followed the post below setting up the startup commands, and restarting the router; the problem was solved and I can connect the PPTP VPN to my work network.

Note that I was using a Ralink router with build r43099, but I believe the problem was the same. YMMV.

As a workaround, you can try adding this to your startup script in Administration->Commands (edit if you already have a startup script and add to the bottom, or save startup if you don't have one):
/sbin/insmod xt_connmark
/sbin/insmod xt_mark
/sbin/insmod nf_conntrack_proto_gre
/sbin/insmod nf_conntrack_pptp
/sbin/insmod nf_nat_proto_gre
/sbin/insmod nf_nat_pptp _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Yes, I will check for an open ticket first and then link it in my email. I really don't know how this got broken over the past several releases other than other VPN things have been being worked on.
EDIT: This is an issue where neither PPTP client nor PPTP server is configured on the router, correct? If so, then this may just have to be the solution, because I don't think there is really a way to fix this without configuring to connect to your VPN on the router level. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
