I am seeing this too. Using Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 desktop, bluez-gnome 1.8-0ubuntu5.

This bug makes it very difficult to connect to Arduino BT, as it uses 5-digit pin by default.

My bluetooth Acer VoIP Phone has a fixed 5 digit pin of 22222.

The same problem occurs for certain HP bluetooth printers which, by default, has the single digit PIN '0'.
