A kernel warning is _not_ a crash warning.  Ubuntu's tool is being a bit of
a fear monger here.  A real crash warning causes a lot more ruckus,
including a real "oops" dump from the kernel.   If you want to see one, do
this:

echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey

(no, it won't cause any damage to the system, but it will issue a real
crash-warning warning).

OTOH, at least I know the users will notice right away if thinkpad-acpi
outputs one of the thermal alarms, which are also kernel warnings.
