Jamie reported that his was working correctly. I wonder if you are

Right; it looks like the fan is normally on hardware auto pilot and that
the hardware just won't ramp it up to full speed. The ACPI tables only
configure the passive trip point to throttle the CPU; fans would be
hooked up to the active trip point if there were one and the ACPI tables
actually complied with the standard.
