I figured out a work around for this. Once the bluetooth adaptor has been detected and udev
had done its stuff run:

hciconfig -a

With this user space change it works. I have no idea why the 'hciconfig -a' query fixes things.
I run gentoo and bluez-4.87 is installed.

OK, thanks for the update. Do I understand correctly that things used to work
before without that workaround?
