For me tz's workaround does not work.
For a long time the wizard stays on the "connecting" page and then it says "Setting up 'My Phone' failed". And from that point it is a lost cause, there is nothing you can do to set up the device. The only thing that works is to kill blootoothd (started by udev I guess), unplug the BT radio and kill the applet then start it all over again by restarting the applet, reenabling bluetooth and plugging in the radio and then selecting the random pin. Pretty ridiculous.
I have an LG KP 501 Cookie cellphone so fortunately I can use a random pin I just did not want to destroy the pairing of my other computer (I share the same USB-to-BT radio between the two computers so as far as my phone is concerned they are the same device).
