So if my understanding is correct, Energy Saving mode exists in P2P BRI
lines.
How do you monitor these lines ?
By monitoring, I mean "getting an SNMP trap when the line is going down",
for instance.
Maybe I should just convince myself that I should not check anymore line
status looking a flag updated in real time, but simply trying to send an
outgoing call as I would with analog lines.

Have you also heard about this special sequence with P2P lines or is it
something especially for P2MP ?

Yes that's true.
