Here is a work-around:

Again, the Linux bug has something to do with waiting for an acknowlegement prompt on the receiving device.
This still needs to be fixed.

There is a free (as in beer if you watch our ad) Android app called Bluetooth File Transfer (very well done in fact).
With it you can disable the Receiving "security prompt".
That done, files can be transferred from Linux.

(Using this app, one can also turn file browsing on.  
Once that is done, in Linux, just re-pair the devices, and voilà, file browsing with Android!)

Bug description:
  Gnome 3 bluetooth manager cannot send files to my HTC Desire phone,
  (or any phone that I could try) Gnome2 bluetooth manager would send
  some form of authorisation request when first sending a file to my
  phone, which i would accept on the phone and then all future files
  could be sent with a simple 'accept?' message on the phone, on any
  gnome3 setup i have tried there is not authorisation request and i
  believe this is what leads to a permission denied error on screen
  (video attached)
