A CPU running hot will report through ACPI as well. I would imagine
once it became critical that the motherboard would shut itself down, or
atleast it should.

If the fan that was failing was 3-wire, it reports whether it's spinning
to the motherboard, and if it's not spinning, maybe that causes some
sort of ACPI message to go to the kernel, causing the shutdown.

Well, I believe the problem was overheating protection kicking in. The
back fan on the computer was jammed and no longer spinning (and boy was
that fan hot). The fan's was connected to one of the motherboard's fan
power pins. I replaced that tinny fan, and I haven't had any reboot
problems.
I assume that this is just the CPU overheating protection that is listed
in the BIOS, but my assumption is that it would cause an immediate hard
power off. Why was I getting shutdown listings in the message log?
Weird.
