Indeed. Not only the run-time temperatures, but also the high and crit
limits.

Looks like a regression in the acpi subsystem or in power management,
not hwmon. Hwmon is merely reporting the temperatures, it's not
responsible for the actual temperatures.

A bisection would certainly help, but of course that would require
booting to a bad kernel half of the time, which I understand Manual
wouldn't enjoy.

The only two components which I think can reach such high temperatures
in a laptop are the CPU and the GPU. I suppose that the "94 °C vs.
74°C" refers to acpitz's temp1? If the the temperatures reported by
coretemp remain the same, then I can only suppose that temp1 is the GPU
temperature. Please tell us which GPU is in this laptop, and which
driver you're using.
