Leon - yes, it would be likely to break Paul's script once set, as
the script reads back fan status from /proc/acpi/ibm/fan, which as
you say is incorrect for full-speed currently.  It'd be great if
Borislav implemented Thomas's work in ibm_acpi and fixed the status
too.

A little hacking in the script can fix it though, and implement
full-speed at very high temperature (see my other mail).
