Is it a function of the question mark vs. the period, or what? Does
the rule vary from typeface to typeface depending on how the spacing
looks, or is it invariable? What *is* the rule?

There is no absolute rule, but see Bringhurst's The Elements
of Typographic Style, an invaluable handbook. His position --
somewhat extreme -- is that punctuation should always be
set in roman.
