yes, and that's why the conflict will stay where it is.

g-bluetooth uses obex-data-server to work and as far as I know no 
GNOME package is currently (and will use) obexd-server to work. 
obexd-server looks broken upstream-side since they started using 
org.openobex without providing a new namespace, and that will take any 
device requesting org.openbox not finding it and therefore failing. 
(like the issues g-bluetooth was having while browsing mobile phones 
with obexd-server)

obexd got adopted already, let's hope the new maintainer will have 
this fixed. :)
