I produced a log (http://hell.org.pl/~sziwan/thermal.log) using those
switches. A bit of commentary:
18:57:59 -- I switch to passive cooling
18:59:07 -- Back to active
18:59:19 -- Forth to passive
[no thermal events till 19:25:12, the readings are trigerred manually]
After that, the temperature rocks up and down, as fan switch in at 3480 dK. 
This seems to be a DSDT bug after all, since the debug output doesn't seem
suspicious and it even fails to notice the fans (which is normal, since the
method to reevaluate the fans is internally called from within the GPE
context). See http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185 for the DSDT and
additional info.
Best regards,
