Same problem here with a Debian Sid / 2.6.34-1-amd64.

The adapter seems to be in HID mode[1] at boot time, ie wireless keyboard and mouse are working but in restricted mode (no multimedia keys, no fn key, etc..).

I tried to play with hid2hci tool with no luck:
 - changing the bluetooth adapter to hci mode has no effect.
 - changing the pseudo usb hub (0a5c:4500) to hci mode causes the bluetooth host (05ac:8215), keyboard (05ac:820a) and mouse (05ac:820b) to be disconnected but then launching `hcitool dev` reports no device.

Interesting part from lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 05ac:820b Apple, Inc. Bluetooth HOST
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 05ac:820a Apple, Inc. Keyboard
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 05ac:8215 Apple, Inc. Mouse
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp. BCM2046B1 USB 2.0 Hub (part of BCM2046 Bluetooth)
