I've got the same behaviour on my thinkpad s30, to get the fan stopped I have to issue

sudo -s
echo -n "0" > /proc/acpi/fan/FN1/state
echo -n "3" > /proc/acpi/fan/FN1/state
exit

yes, I have to turn the fan 'on' even though it's already spinning away to be able to turn it off. After that the behaviour of those commans is standard.
