@Simon: yes, I was pleasantly surprised too. I had always heard that it
was a hardware issue so when I read that rc-proposed had the new
bluetooth kernel stack I thought maybe they worked around the issue in
some manner in the kernel. Initially after booting into r109 I used the
indicator and it all appeared to work properly (like on arale).
Satisfied, I went and looked at bug #1318360 again (unrelated to this
but...) then I updated the radio firmware as described in
https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg08514.html. Then I saw your
'really' comment and decided to try this bug for real in my car. I
enabled bluetooth via the indicator, it paired with the car. I played a
song with the music-app via bluetooth. I disabled bluetooth via the
indicator. It unpaired with the car. I enabled bluetooth via the
indicator and it paired and I played a song with the music-app via
bluetooth. All without rebooting.

I mention the updated radio firmware only because while I don't think it
had anything to do with fixing this bug, because I didn't test pairing
with the car prior to updating it, I'm not 100% sure it isn't needed.

Title:
  bluetooth can not be enabled sometimes (when booting with flight mode
  on being one case)

Bug description:
  The bluetooth indicator and the bluetooth page in system settings
  sometimes won't turn on bluetooth until after a reboot. What I expect
  to happen is that if bluetooth is off in the indicator/system settings
  and I tap the switch, the switch will go green and in a moment the
  bluetooth indicator will show up and bluetooth is enabled. When
  bluetooth is on, I expect to go into the indicator/system settings and
  turn the switch off, the switch will go gray and the bluetooth
  indicator will hide and bluetooth is disabled. I expect this to work
  whenever I want while the phone is on.

  Sometimes, this does not work. For example, yesterday I disabled
  bluetooth at some point in the evening and later I went to sleep. When
  I woke up, I tried to turn it on via the indicator and also system
  settings and it wouldn't turn on. In the indicator, the switch moves
  to the green position briefly, then moves back to gray (the bluetooth
  indicator remains hidden and bluetooth is disabled). In system
  settings, the switch will stay green, but the bluetooth indicator
  remains hidden and bluetooth is disabled. If I leave system settings
  and come back, the the switch is now in the off position.

  /var/lib/urfkill/saved-states has:
  [BLUETOOTH]
  soft=false
  prev-soft=false

  bluetoothd is confirmed to be running before and after using the
  indicator and system settings when bluetooth cannot be enabled.

  Workaround: reboot the phone and bluetooth will be enabled.

  Note: this is not new behavior-- I'm only reporting it now (partly
  because I thought it was fixed for a while, but that might have been
  because I was rebooting a lot at the time)
