I can confirm that Leif's fix works perfectly for me. Thanks Leif, I was
going a bit crazy with this for a while!

Title:
apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse: conflict between ubuntu and OS X
Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
First of all, ubuntu 12.04(tested with mac specific iso and 64 bits)
and grub 2(tested grub efi amd64 of course) do not acknowledge apple
bluetooth keyboard(and mouse for ubuntu); installing blueman at ubuntu
seems to be the only way to get both working on ubuntu, a very
difficult process, which required an usb mouse because there are no
working bluetooth apple devices; the issue is never fixed, only made
less worse as shown below, please check these four threads for more
information(the issue affect plenty of users, and has not been
adressed properly since 2011?!):

If ubuntu gets control of mac keyboard and mouse, Os X lose it(and pre
boot keyboard pairing cease to exist, no more pre boot hotkeys
possible); if OS X have control of keyboard and mouse, ubuntu lose it;
switching from one to another requires quite painfull keyboard and
mouse redetection with blueman from ubuntu, or, at osx side, osx take
quite some time to detect them again after an ubuntu login.
The mac ubuntu community is quite insatisfied with this issue, and
demands a fix; if any additional information is needed to help in this
task, let us know.
