I can confirm this bug still exists on 20.04 after testing my desktop and laptop.

Using hciconfig to turn off visibility works and does survive a reboot.

After using hciconfig and opening the Bluetooth settings panel, visibility turns on. When closing the panel, visibility turns off. So hciconfig seems to fix the bug for now. Still, it would be better if this never happened in the first place since it does seem to be a security issue.
