If nothing will work for the moment I think that set it then...

Like I said providing a fix (albeit temporary) seems a better option to
me than no fix at all. Things will be better with the coming 2.6.31
kernel, but being unable to disable bluetooth is really bad for laptop
users.
If Fabian is fine with it too then you should go ahead with the Ubuntu's
workaround.
