I worked around this by editing the source of wizard/main.c, changing the default value of 0000 to the correct one for my headset. See below:

        /* Most headsets are using 0000 as pincode */
        if (target_type == BLUETOOTH_TYPE_HEADSET ||
                                target_type == BLUETOOTH_TYPE_HEADPHONE)
                pincode = "1234";

        text = g_strdup_printf(_("Please enter the following PIN code: %s"),
                                                                pincode);

However, this isn't really a satisfactory solution. The wizard needs to offer the option of changing the pin code to match whatever hardware is to be paired.
