I might have had a similar problem but with at-packet mode and sslvpn connection to a remote Sophos XG firewall. The symptom was not being able to have the Sophos admin GUI to appear. Was able to reach ssh and command line. Still exploring what is causing this problem.

Maybe not the same issue as you experienced but just weird.
