Hmm, do you mean it *shouldn't* cause another "Create Connection"?

I just checked in the spec: It sounds like once we send the "Accept 
Connection Request" to the controller, the controller takes care of 
establishing the connection by itself (no "Create Connection" 
necessary), and will then later give us a "Connection Complete" event to 
indicate that the connection is done.

If I'm reading all this correctly, that sounds like my commit is 
correct, and we had a bug in this logic before by interpreting 
BT_CONNECT2 in two different ways.
