I wouldn't always assume that hardware is always protected from damage
due to faulty software. There have been a lot of cases in the past where
programming inadvertently damaged hardware: the recent Load_Cycle_Count
kerfuffle with harddisk drives, burning-out CRT monitors with faulty
Modelines, overheating laptops with covers closed and monitor and CPU
not going low, etc. The fact that there was a difference indicates, at
the least, seemingly more power-consumption for the same amount of work
with just a different kernel. Certainly worth investigating.
