everything above looks fine

this is *very* strange.

1) did you check your /var/log/messages to see if device has detached?

2) can you please run as root the following commands

# ngctl types

# ngctl li

# ngctl status ubt0:

# ngctl status ubt0hci:

after you have executed "rc.bluetooth start ubt0" and got the error.

please run the commands above and send me the output.

that is fine. "initialize" is an internal (to bluetooth stack) command. 
it only flips a bit inside hci node and tells it that initialization 
sequence was performed. you wont see "initialize" command in the hci dumps.

i suspect that device is gone (detached).

yes, because if i'm right and device is indeed gone then you cant do 
anything.
