That's odd - the error had been annoying me every boot for months has now gone, even after "apt-get --purge bluez-dbg; reboot" and then the same for bluez-dbg. To be clear, the last time the error appeared was at boot time before installing both bluez-dbg and libbluetooth3-dbg as per comment #7.

I tried both warm and cold booting (at *every* reboot I've mentioned in this and the other comment) to see if it was some weird state the BIOS was setting on the hardware, but it's not apparent that warm versus cold booting is making any difference.

It appears to me that rebooting with debug libraries installed has either allowed the failing branch of code to complete without error, or caused some alternate branch of code to be executed instead. In either case, the lack of crashing suggests that bluez has saved it's new state in some as yet unresolved location - does bluez keep/alter state anywhere in the code, or am I getting carried away here?

Marcos K: Can you try installing just libbluetooth3-dbg and rebooting? Submit the stack trace if the error persists, then try installing bluez-dbg and rebooting again once again submitting the stack trace if it crashes?
