It appears this bug is due to a proposed change:
bluez (5.37-0ubuntu5.2) xenial; urgency=medium
[Simon Fels] 50-bluetooth- hci-auto- poweron. rules:
[Guilhem Lettron]
[Cyrus Lien]
* debian/main.conf:
- Set AutoEnable parameter to true.
(LP: #1510570)
* debian/
- Get rid of legacy udev rule to power on bluetooth controllers on
startup. Using hciconfig for that is the legacy way and will lead
to different problems as the kernel side stack wont initialize
all needed subsystems when used. BlueZ introduced a replacement
for this with 5.36 which basically tells the bluetoothd through
a config option to turn on all found Bluetooth controllers by
default. With changing this there should be no change in terms
of functionality.

You might find more information in bug 1510570, but this is still a bug by the sounds of it.
