I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious, but... why is 2. f3 better for white than 2. fxe3?

because black´s queen doesn´t need the knight to checkmate. It´s got the bishop in the back (on b7). and then 2. ... Qg2# would follow

Ah ha! thanks z. I had missed that g1 was undefended and thus allowed # on move 4.
