For me tz's workaround does not work.
For a long time the wizard stays on the "connecting" page and then it says 
"Setting up 'My Phone' failed". And from that point it is a lost cause, there 
is nothing you can do to set up the device. The only thing that works is to 
kill blootoothd (started by udev I guess), unplug the BT radio and kill the 
applet then start it all over again by restarting the applet, reenabling 
bluetooth and plugging in the radio and then selecting the random pin. Pretty 
ridiculous.
I have an LG KP 501 Cookie cellphone so fortunately I can use a random pin I 
just did not want to destroy the pairing of my other computer (I share the same 
USB-to-BT radio between the two computers so as far as my phone is concerned 
they are the same device).
