It sounds exactly like the one that I described and fixed in HylaFAX+, 
yes.  No, it does not seem to be a unique issue from what I've seen.

Batching is typically enabled by setting "MaxBatchJobs: 64" in your faxq 
config file (/var/spool/hylafax/etc/config).  Disable it by using "1" 
instead of "64".  It is probably enabled by default.

However, individual destinations may have batching disabled in the 
destination's info file (/var/spool/hylafax/info/__).  In there it is 
disabled with "supportsBatching:no".  "yes" enables it, obviously.

My guess is that your info file has it disabled for this particular 
destination.

It's "MaxConcurrentCalls" now, but yes, faxq should be backwards 
compatible to understand "MaxConcurrentJobs".  Note, however, that there 
is no trailing "S*" on the end of what I just typed.  If you're looking 
at some on-line documentation it will put a couple of characters after 
the correct text because of the way that man2html works.  Note that I 
have gone through some effort to resolve that in the on-line manpages at 
sourceforge:

 http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/man/hylafax-config.php

So what you probably want in your faxq configuration file is this:

 MaxConcurrentCalls: 99
