We've seen similar reports from other Lenovo machines & acer-wmi in Fedora bugzilla.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674353 for example has people reporting
the b450 and V460 also suffer the same issue.

(There are also a bunch of bug reports from the other *-wmi modules on various hardware.
It seems these modules really upset rfkill).
