Looks like I've got this wrong. After a bit of a chat on #bluez-users on freenode irc I now understand that the microphone in my device, and probably that of the majority of other bluetooth headsets, is not supported in A2DP by design. I must have been using usb headphones for stuff like Skype to get the better audio quality and a working microphone. So now, this seems to be a feature request into a better, more automatic way, for Ubuntu to switch between modes depending on use.
