Workaround from that bug: Force low power state:

shevek@raven:/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate$ cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: intel_pstate
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
  maximum transition latency: 0.97 ms.
  hardware limits: 500 MHz - 3.20 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: performance, powersave
  current policy: frequency should be within 500 MHz and 2.80 GHz.
                  The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 3.19 GHz.
  boost state support:
    Supported: yes
    Active: yes
shevek@raven:/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate$ sudo cpupower frequency-set 
-g powersave
Setting cpu: 0
Setting cpu: 1
Setting cpu: 2
Setting cpu: 3
shevek@raven:/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate$ cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:

                  The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 1.20 GHz.
  boost state support:
    Supported: yes
    Active: yes
shevek@raven:/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate$ grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo 
cpu MHz         : 1300.000
cpu MHz         : 1405.726
cpu MHz         : 1200.062
cpu MHz         : 1229.617

Now it's scaled down again.
