I'm running now with:

$ git describe
v3.9-rc1

and it seem that the behaviour of my laptop is similar to yours.
Also, immediately after a suspend/resume cycle, the fan speed goes down,
and again the speeds correctly goes up as the temperature rises, but when
the temperature drops the fan doesn't slow.

Now the suspend/resume cycle seems almost unrelated with the issue 
(except for
the fan speed reset at resume).
