The real problem seems to be indicated by the scaling driver:

p4-clockmod: Warning: EST-capable CPU detected. The acpi-cpufreq module
offers voltage scaling in addition to frequency scaling. You should use
that instead of p4-clockmod, if possible.

Following the advise by simply renaming p4-clockmod.ko makes the kernel use 
acpi-cpufreq and then frequency scaling works again.
So the bug is that the kernel loads the wrong scaling driver despite knowing 
better.
