Works fine for me on my Lenovo T61.

The log reports this error:
bluetoothd[22286]: Can't init device hci0: Unknown error 132 (132)

Could you kill the bluetooth daemon and launch it manually with switches -n and -d and reproduce the error.
see if there is some information in the output.

Thanks

I can't seem to figure out how to do that correctly, Baptiste. Could you list the steps I need to take.

tried:
killall bluetoothd
bluetoothd -n -d

And the only output was:
greg@zen:~$ bluetoothd -n -d
bluetoothd[3903]: Bluetooth daemon 4.60
bluetoothd[3903]: Enabling debug information

hu, I forgot the sudo command before (as the bluetoothd needs to run as root).
so type "sudo bluetoothd -n -d"

and then post the output.

Thanks a lot.

Baptiste: As luck (?) would have it, the issue is now resolved with the latest kernel update (I just did an update today). So, the fix came in somewhere between 2.6.32-19.28-generic and 2.6.32-21-generic.

Thanks for your help, though.
