Thanks for confirming this bug! This doesn't need to have anything to do with blueman I think. The port gets ignored as well when I add /dev/rfcomm0 by "rfcomm bind ..." or /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf.

It used to in older versions of nm (pre 0.7.0, I think) Establishing the connection using pon/poff is working perfectly over the rfcomm device.
