In my experience, Bluetooth is often a little flaky, requiring pairing when already paired, timing out before the user has the chance to enter the code, etc. But I haven't seen anything quite as bad as what you describe for the Galaxy Tab, and the flakiness I have seen never seemed specific to Android.
