I'm on Ubuntu 14.04, a Toshiba Portégé Z830 with Atheros bluetooth, gnome-bluetooth v 3.8.2.1. I can confirrm I'm still experiencing this issue for the past two or three years. Never seen it solved. Bluetooth state always on after reboot. Indeed having to switch it off every time makes Ubuntu less user-friendly. If it's useful for someone, when I use KDE I don't have this problem. Only with Gnome (same Ubuntu and Mint),

This information was given in http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/4302 There is a setting controlling this feature: RememberPowered=true in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf Questions: Is the dbus message is even sent? If it is sent, why gnome-bluetooth doesn't do anything for it? Does bluez's SetProperty actually find the last (if even saved) bluetooth status?
