I can also confirm this for 16.04. I note a very similar error in the syslog:

I did some digging at one point, and the error from bluez5 seems to originate from DBus, and may be a permissions issue with the bluetooth DBus configuration or pulseaudio DBus configuration.

The workaround suggested by Con Kolivas works, but is very annoying.
