This is technically no gnome-bluetooth bug, but a bug in the gnome-system-settings. But this info here is gone if not linked to the new bug. So if you don't mind I'll mark this here as duplicate of the new one? Technically it would be better to assign it to the new package, but the new bug 1308922 has already a very clean description, so IMHO it is better to do it that way.
