Yes, there's a bug somewhere between PFP, large format Epson drivers and
OSX 10.4.8 that has affected a small number of people (me, included).

(The bug is that, for some reason, making changes to popups and controls
in some of the large format Epson drivers is causing the commands that
are generated to "leak through" the OSX print dialog and they're ending
up in PFP itself, which is running beneath the OSX print dialog and shouldn't
be seeing any of this.)

There isn't a fix yet, but there is a workaround:

Go into an application where this doesn't happen (as in, anything other
than PFP); set up your 3800 driver the way that you want; and save the config
into a named preset in the OSX printer dialog.

Then, in PFP, use the preset to switch all of the settings for you. This
will work properly.
