This could be fixed by first releasing the service name synchronously, then processing all queued requests and only then closing/exiting. Hmm, will bluetoothd also be started via bus activation? If so, it wuld probably make sense to issue a StartByName D-Bus request from the udev rule and let dbus handle all the ordering/synchronization issues with starting up bluetoothd. I know at least one application (PA) that wouldn't reconnect to coming and going bluetoothd's, that's why I am asking.
