I'd rather not play with the storage itself, the dbus API provides means for
bonding devices thus I'll try to document that.

I'd like if you can try this:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez / \
org.bluez.Manager.DefaultAdapter

this will give you an object path with the default adapter.
Start bluetooth-agent providing a passkey, then:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez <default_adapter_path> \
org.bluez.Adapter.CreateDevice string:"bt_address"

this should create the bonding with bt_address
