The CP notifications are indicating that the _PPC contents have been updated -
this effectively gives the OS the set of available frequencies. The first is
presumably removing the higher P states, but the latter restores them and
allows the processor to go back to full speed. In that respect, we're behaving
correctly here.

What I wonder is whether Windows implements more of a lag in the switching -
alternatively, it could simply be us failing to keep some other system
component within its designed thermal envelope and that altering the thermal
characteristics of the system. We /seem/ to be doing the right thing, and the
BIOS seems to be going to some effort to do something useful, so the fact that
it isn't working is slightly curious...
