I can testify I observed strange things with 1.4 and T.38 and I couldn't
decide if it came from my settings or else.
Before getting deeper into this, I thought I needed an improved
understanding (hence this thread).

Have you tried to directly connect two T.38 enabled gateways without
involving Asterisk at all (like this) ?
<ISDN> --- Gateway --- <SIP/T.38> --- ATA --- <FXO/FXS> --- fax machine
