Ok i spoke too quickly, after trying to pair with my phone i got the 
following avc message:
audit(1146046683.267:792): avc:  denied  { execute_no_trans } for  
pid=3742 comm="sh" name="kbluepin" dev=hda10 ino=1740403 
scontext=user_u:system_r:bluetooth_t:s0 
tcontext=system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0 tclass=file

So we should also add the following to the policy:
allow bluetooth_t lib_t:file execute_no_trans;
