Update, I noticed the pattern so far and turning off pulseaudio seems to have stopped the behaviour. I obviously can't leave the system without sound, so I'm still looking for a permanent fix.
The pattern is allways like this: Apr 26 15:06:07 ESS-PC26 bluetoothd[11243]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.445 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSource Apr 26 15:06:07 ESS-PC26 bluetoothd[11243]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.445 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSink Apr 26 15:06:07 ESS-PC26 pulseaudio[12799]: [pulseaudio] backend-ofono.c: Failed to register as a handsfree audio agent with ofono: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.of Apr 26 15:06:07 ESS-PC26 bluetoothd[11243]: RFCOMM server failed for Headset Voice gateway: rfcomm_bind: Address already in use (98) Apr 26 15:06:07 ESS-PC26 rtkit-daemon[1524]: Successfully made thread 12829 of process 12829 (n/a) owned by '108' high priority at nice level -11.

Apr 26 15:06:14 ESS-PC26 org.gtk.vfs.Daemon[12708]: A connection to the bus can't be made Bluetooth tries to register a device or something, pulse fails and system loggs out. My current workaround is to completely turn off pulseaudio by creating a ~/.pulse/client.conf file with autospawn=no inside. As I've already mentioned before, pulseaudio crashing leves no crash log.

From what I can tell from the journalctl printout this appears immediately after either bluetoothd or pulsaudio crashes. This is happening multiple time each day for each user. It doesn't happen to all users, but the reports seem to be getting more frequent by the day. From what I have noticed there recently was an update for pulseaudio and its bluetooth integration.
