To the best of my knowledge what you are looking for does not currently 
exist.  If you want to start from scratch you could try the melville mudlib 
(very minimal lib with just the barest of essentials) as it was written for 
DGD.  If you want something playable you can try the port of LPmud, but 
that is as I said a port.  You can find both of these at www.imaginary.com 
in their ftp section.

I have to agree with your thinking on learning how to code LPC.  Unless you 
are going to take a class or have someone to sit with you and teach you it 
is necessary to have good examples to look at, unfortunately none currently 
exists (at least none has been released in the form of a lib).  There is 
always hope that one will be developed in the future though....;)
