Having the same problem, but found a temporary solution: If you're using Unity, control the BT switch via the BT tray icon. That should work.

Now i can't turn it on. I run Bluetooth from the Dash, I turn on Bluetooth with the On/Off button. Then it goes back to off. It will probably work after reboot. Just one more bluetooth bug making bluetooth completely unusable under Ubuntu.
