Another follow-up. Had the same problem with 20.04 amd64. My solution detailed above would not work when using the GUI where the Blueman bluetooth applet was in the notification area.

Eventually I found it worked from a real tty console (switched from GUI to tty2 with Ctrl+Alt+F2) and running the bluetoothctl sequence as detailed.
