looks to me like a kernel issue with the new btusb kernel module, I found
out a bug report in Launchpad as well:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/268502

I tried it myself and I get the same errors when I plug in my dongle, so
it's definitely not your hardware broken.
It could also be an issue with bluez itself, but bluez is actually
unmaintained in Debian, so I really don't know who could take care of this
issue.

Anyway we gonna try to include the rfkill switch directly into udev,
hopefully this issue will be finally fixed. (or at least the users affected
will reduce)
