[VoiceOps] Problems with T.38 fax with Grandstream GXW-4248

We have a customer with multiple Grandstream GXW-4248 voice gateways 
that wants to use T.38 for sending and receiving faxes. They are running 
the most recent release (1.0.5.16). We have tested this successfully 
with other devices, including a Grandstream HT-702 and a Grandstream 
GXW-4004, but when configuring the Grandstream GXW-4248 the same way, 
the audio from the Grandstream to the fax machine cuts out at the 
renegotiation to T.38 and does not resume. When looking at a packet 
capture of the fax call, the Re-INVITE appears successful, but the first 
and only UDPTL packet sent by the Grandstream is reported as malformed 
by Wireshark:

         [Malformed Packet (Exception occurred)]

Does anyone have any experience with trying to use T.38 with a 
Grandstream GXW-4248?

Thanks,
