I found an answer that solved this problem for me. The resolution was to change the encryption settings on the L2TP server. Check out: http://apple-ipad-tablet-help.blogspot.com/2010/12/ipad-vpn-fails-to-connect-on-ios-421.html

Note that the solution there may be specific to SonicWall firewalls used as VPN servers. Luckily for me, I use a SonicWall, so the solution worked perfectly for me. Your mileage may vary, but it's a good place to start.
