Partially confirmed, but...
* Only confirmed in Totem. VLC did automatically switch back to
bluetooth for me (so its menu says). Except I then lost all sound. One
possibly related observation is that VLC provides a menu for you to
select the current audio device. I don't think Totem does or can
(because GStreamer is too generalised to expose devices by name?).
* PulseAudio is designed to allow different applications to use
different audio devices of their choosing. So choosing to ignore newly
added devices may in fact be an application bug/feature. The recent
fixes to PulseAudio mostly relate to default devices (that which is used
at application startup, not switched to during application execution).

Test Case.
1. Pair a BT Speaker and set the output channel to the speaker
2. Play something with vlc or totem (and make sure it uses the speaker with
pavucontrol for instance)
3. Switch the output to another channel eg internal speaker and turn the BT
speaker off (do not close the music player)
4. Turn the speaker back on and wait until it connects
5. If the speaker is not selected automatically as the output, select it in
the sound settings
6. Resume playing in VLC
Expected result
The track plays on the speaker
Actual result
It plays on the internal audio.
