I too have just tried the Jaunty kernel.
I added this line to my apt/sources.list

deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted multiverse universe

and first of all just upgraded the bluez related packages to 4.21-0ubuntu1.

Now when I try to pair with my phone it immediately fails and gives an error message rather than timing out like before. I then downgraded these packages back to the intrepid version and installed the Jaunty kernel packages (2.6.28). Rebooted the new kernel. Bluetooth still wont work.

I then upgrade the bluez packages again and try to pair with my phone. Success - I am given a 4 digit password and enter this on my phone and it pairs correctly. I am however unable to do any file transfers or use my phone as an HID remote control or modem. So progress at least but still not fixed.

It seems to be a combination of factors related to bluez and the kernel as each one on its own didn't fix the problem however when they were both upgraded i was able to pair at least...
