The reason G4 worked in the past was that it used tiff2pdf in the background. I switched to using PDF::API2 for the PDF engine in order to allow the use of the OCR layer behind the image.
Unfortunately, up to now, PDF::API2 has buggy G4 TIFF support, and so I disabled the G4 compression option in gscan2pdf.
I have provided patches to the author of PDF::API2 to allow much better TIFF support, but these have not yet been accepted by the maintainer of PDF::API2.
In the mean time, which later version of gscan2pdf still do not support G4, you would find lost of new features and bug fixes if you upgraded via the PPA.
