It seems natural that

Google for "Color Fax", you will see that faxes need not be monochrome.
No, but CCITT Group 3 or Group 4 compressed TIFF faxes need be.
While I understand (and agree with) the motivation for removing the
automatic conversion, I still think it's wrong for the software to just
ignore an option it was given (compression) without a warning or error.
