if (!com->active_out) {
is correct. The test succeeds if the callout port is not open (and the
tty is open), i.e., when the callin port is open.

Apparently the getty has opened ttyd1 and made it a controlling
terminal. This is supposed to stop the open of cuaa1 from succeeding,
but if you invert the test in (1) then the open works and something
breaks a little later.
ttyd1 should only be used for incoming calls.
