The critical temperature for the shutdown should still be logged in:
/var/log/messages
Can you grab that one out, please.

But from what we know, this sounds like a real overheating and not a
wrongly read value, also thinkpads used to have a switch to let the
temperature jump above the critical trip point under certain conditions.
This seem to be the case on THM0 (I remember 127 C...):
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/trip_points:critical (S5):           127 C

Can we be sure it's because of the fans?
2.6.31 works?
Also the latest stable one?
Then this one might be unrelated (11.2, 2.6.31.X based, Acer Aspire 5315):
