Can confirm this still happens with kernel 5.8.1. While the device is listed correctly with its full name in bluetoothctl and can be trusted, the final pairing will not work. syslog will constantly have a "Refusing...." message for the device and the connection:

For example an 8bitdo Arcade Stick can be paired and connected without issues over bluetooth.
