Please keep bug-followup@ CC'ed otherwise your response won't get noted
on the PR.
I don't use PC-BSD myself, but it looks like the 9.1 release includes
some sort of Bluetooth Manager [1].
In any case, you could also try following the steps in the Handbook to
see if there's really a problem on FreeBSD or not.
