Ubuntu isn't doing any funky with fan management.  I would suggest
that you check out /proc/acpi/ibm/fan; is it showing that the fan is
working?

% cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan 
status:         enabled
speed:          3883
level:          auto
commands:       level <level> (<level> is 0-7, auto, disengaged, full-speed)
commands:       enable, disable
commands:       watchdog <timeout> (<timeout> is 0 (off), 1-120 (seconds))

Something else worth checking:

% cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal 
temperatures:   49 46 46 44 34 -128 32 -128 44 43 -128 -128 -128 -128 -128 -128
