I think this is a side-effect of the documentation that comes with devices, they tell the user to hold down the connect button when turning it on, and then go to the pairing wizard each time. Because the device is paired, we don't show it in the pairing wizard, and BlueZ doesn't give us a hint that it's responding to Inquiry Scans so _should_ appear in the pairing wizard again.
