I'm sticking by my rec that you need to get the hardware fixed. Maybe windows throttles the machine more agressively when it gets hot instead of shutting down... maybe windows has better GPU thermal control (this is almost certainly true)... in any case your machine should not be shutting down with the fans at max under any loading situation. Lots of other users have T60's and no thermal shutdown issues in Jaunty. My machine (T61p) has the same fan control and power management system as yours... and has no issues. The thermal issues that originally led me to this thread were hardware issue related.
I'm not saying there isn't some power management bug that makes your machine runs hotter under only Jaunty... I'm just saying you have a hardware problem if your machine gets itself hot enough to shutdown.
