This bug has probably nothing to do with GNOME. I tried to use the Bluetooth Chat sample from Android ( http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/BluetoothChat/index.html ) with the little code snippet in the attachment and I get this (MAC disguised by me):
max@XV88:~/Projekte/python$ python bt_spam_server.py Searching ... connecting to "BluetoothChat" on 3C:5A:37:XX:XX:XX Traceback (most recent call last): File "bt_spam_server.py", line 39, in <module> sock.connect((host, port)) File "<string>", line 5, in connect bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError: (13, 'Permission denied') max@XV88:~/Projekte/python$ I tested it on a Natty machine too and it worked perfectly.
