Ah, OK. I misunderstood what thermal zones are.

Right, bad assumption on my part. Is there any way to find out what they might correspond to? /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal has a bunch of temperature-like numbers in them; I guess there should be some correlation between those and the thermal zones.

I'll gather a bit more info.
