I too have been hit by this regression w/ a HP Compaq NC6000 laptop.
From what I can tell 3.7.x gets confused about trip points after resume. Based on the information in sysfs, it seems to always think that the CPU temp > 65C, when in fact it's usually 40C or so. Loading the CPU enough to rise the temperature past the trip point where the kernel thinks we're at seems to re-synchronize the kernel's reality with the firmware's reality. On a few occasions however the fan did stop, but the trip points were still confused the same way. So what happened is that the fan didn't come back to life until I hit the next higher trip point at 80C. Under normal conditions I've never reached the 80C trip point on this laptop.
I also tried this tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rzhang/linux.git next $ git describe v3.8-rc2-72-gf5b6d45
Sadly I must report that it's even worse than 3.7. Even without any suspend/resume cycles, the system gets confused. When I heat up the CPU the fan comes on correctly and speeds up as the temperature rises. Unfortunately when the temperature drops the fan doesn't slow down at all. So once I hit a high trip point the fan stays at that speed forever.
