Nop . He is definitely not alone. 

Same here . An assortment of v1.4s, v2.xs and Mikrotik routerboards
Some using static ip addresses, others using dyn ips with dyndns.
The installations with dynamic ips have the same behaviour as the one
you described.

I have to manually restart the vpn tunnel from the ipcop side (if it's ipcop
to mikrotik that is).

That has been going for years now.
