Irregularity of *ǵʰ→h→f

Why is the shift from PIE *ǵʰ- to an H to an F at the beginning of a word described as "irregular"? PIE aspirated plosives at the beginning of a word normally do end up as an F in Latin; are we saying the intermediate step usually isn't "H"? And if it's irregular, then how do we know that the irregular thing is what actually happened?
