Again, nothing out of the ordinary.  Maybe dynamic debugging will give 
us a clue.  Try doing this:

	Unload the btusb module.

	echo module usbcore +p >/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

	Load the btusb module

	Make sure that Bluetooth is turned off in Gnome

	Wait a few seconds

	echo module usbcore -p >/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

Then let's see what the dmesg log contains for that time period.

Also, please post the output from "lsusb -v" for the Bluetooth device.
