I'm having a little trouble understanding how a Polycom 601 phone that has no knowledge of IAX can receive an IAX call. It may make perfect sense to you, but it doesn't to me.

I am referring to the agi_type variable that Asterisk passes to an AGI script when it calls it. It is being set to IAX2, not SIP.
