So, if i understand the question correctly, you have:
     Asterisk SIP-> SPA3102 FXS -> Analog fax machine
and the PBX to SPA3102 communications are T.38 before converting to analog 
to go to the fax machine. Then in the other situation you would have:
     Analog line -> SPA3102 FXO port -> Asterisk SIP
and the SPA3102 to Asterisk communication isn't doing T.38?

If that is the case, the only thing I can think of is that maybe they were 
not thinking that many people would want to do the second situation with a 
low end device? I imagine the main use case it to keep the old analog 
device around after switching to SIP delivery. Probably didn't expect to 
see analog delivery that gets translated to a sip fax endpoint. 

Though I do agree that once you have the transcoding option, I would think 
it would be trivial to apply it to both ports.
