I can't believe that the very small amount of vibration from a ceiling fan would damage the electronics in a CF bulb. The thin wire of a tungsten filament is also rather delicate and can be broken by the bulb being dropped. I'm not being funny. If you knock over a table or floor lamp the glass of the bulb is rarely broken but the shock of the fall is enough to break the filament.
