Another update. I had accidentally installed gnome-tweak-tool on my unity install instead of unity-tweak-tool, which pulled in a bunch of gnome-core stuff. After uninstalling the gnome stuff and reverting my configs to default (i.e. removing everything I did in post #5) my bluetooth headphones seem to be connecting properly again.

I'm bummed to see my bluetooth headset (Bose Soundlink overear) seems to have regressed in functionality. In 14.10, I was able to set the output profile either to a2dp or hsp/hfp (telephony duplex). In 15.04, it only works in telephony duplex mode. I can't get high fidelity sound playback to work at all.
