i think this song isn't about an actual lover at all. I think this is a slap at the matrix / current generation of fans who heard this record and have no idea 'who liz phair is'. Cuz, quite frankly, she sounds pretty much like every other artist who has had songs written/produce by the infamous matrix (avril etc.). I actually didn't even recognize that the couple songs from this album that were played on the radio were in fact liz phair.
A big reason that i think this, is an acquaintance at a job that i used to have was talking about what a big liz phair fan he was (he was in his early 20's circa 2006) so obviously much too young to have listened to guyville, whipsmart of whitechocolatespaceegg when they were coming out. Basically the guy thought that liz phair was a brand new artist and no idea of what an iconic alternative figure liz is.
So, again, i think in this song, the 'fans come lately' are the lover she's talking about (or at least there is a big reference to that).
