This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has
changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if
this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report
against it and we will take it from there.

Title:
  Bluetooth service needs to be restarted before a Bluetooth dongle
  works

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bluez

  I can't turn bluetooth on with a dongle plugged in, unless I issue the command "sudo service bluetooth restart". This occurs when the dongle has been plugged in on starting up (I need to use a wired keyboard to log in), or when I plug in the dongle later. The dongle in question is the one attached at the time of the bug report (which was just after I issued the bluetooth restart command).
  This is similar to Bug #762964 and #700292, but it isn't fixed yet with the latest updates installed (I believe my kernel version is the same as the kernel updates mentioned that fix it in some instances).
  I also had a related problem with a logitech bluetooth dongle (for an MX5000 keyboard), where I discovered a workaround that I had to replug in the dongle while holding the red button to get it to work (I didn't try the bluetooth restart command).

  I'm aware that I can just add a restart command in the rc.local file,
  but I'm trying to use "stock" ubuntu, as it's now in the league of a
  proper commercial OS! Let me know if you need any more info or
  troubleshooting steps.
