Like I said before, keep in mind that it takes 30 sec sometimes to activate...
But... I have seen this. I don't use BT, but since you were reporting this, I decided to put the indicator back on the menu bar, so I'd notice whether it was loaded or not. Sometimes (fairly rarely, but often enough to notice) I'll notice it not working on a fresh restart. Coincidently, when this happens, my USB mouse is not working either. Since I've seen this happen on a warm boot (eg. after restart) and the USB mouse seems to not work at the same time, I believe it is not related to the IOath3kfrmwr.kext firmware uploader (firmware is already loaded on warm restart). I think sometimes on a restart, USB devices "already plugged in" fail to work. In the case of the USB mouse, I simply unplug and plug back in. With a built-in device like the BT chip, that is not really possible, so another restart is your only recourse.
BTW, I see the same USB initialization problem (w/ USB mouse) in Windows sometimes, so this is likely a flakey hardware thing: eg... HP's fault.
Bottom line: Move on... there is nothing we can do about this one.
