I think your problem is that the viewers are only suitable for fine
mode faxes.  Hylafax almost certainly stores the actual raw fax data
to form the g3 format image, just adding TIFF flags.  I would expect
one of the tags will tell a proper TIFF viewer that it has rectangular
pixels. I can't check easily at the moment, but run a TIFF diagnostic
utility on the file, and I suspect this will show up.

It would have to uncompress to raw bit map then recompress, if any 2D 
features were in use.
