As i understand, for pppoe case, he can just skip offset for ethernet and 
pppoe header, and he can filter by ip, or not?
Current way is maybe better, cause someone who want to count everything with 
ethernet and pppoe headers - can, and who want without - also can (by setting 
offset , just a bit more difficult.

Like 
/sbin/tc filter add dev eth1 protocol 0x8864  parent 2:0 prio 1 u32 \
match u32 0x$IPREMOTE_HEX 0xffffffff at 24 flowid 2:$ID
(found in LARTC)

Maybe I miss something, but generally (for IP, TCP etc. matches) it
should work "as usual". I think you and those other users you quoted
were mislead by that tcpdump on ifb. Probably in some configs you
might needed this 'protocol 0x8864' or 'protocol all'. You should
see it on ppp's tcpdump then, like yours:

PPPoE_146 ~ # tcpdump -ni ppp0 -e -vvv -s 1500 -c 4
tcpdump: WARNING:
tcpdump: listening on ppp0, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 
1500 bytes
17:03:17.015598 Out ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 68: (tos 0x0, ttl 111, id
