I had the same fan issue on resume for a whitebox (no-name) Centrino laptop;
never got resume to work properly - the touchpad never came back on - but I 
did solve the fan thing with:

echo 3 > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN/state

in a shell, (or you could put it in a script called from hibernate.ram.) 
Oddly, it was often necessary to do it twice.

Hope this helps,
