There are other threads that explain the problem better.
GhostScript now has a slightly modified default format for tiffg4 output files. There are two options to fix this:
1. add options to the gs command to make it compatible with the previous default, or
2. post-process the TIFF file created by gs.

"Use2D: no" is a workaround. This instructs HylaFAX to not use the problematic file format. You will probably get larger TIFF files and longer transmission times.

Based on other proposals I fixed the problem by inserting a post-processing with tiffcp in /var/spool/hylafax/bin/ps2fax and pdf2fax.
See attached patch.
