Unable to pair BT devices while inside virtualized Ubuntu

$

I'm evaluating Workstation 9 and using it to virtualize Linux on the HP EliteBook Folio 9470m, with Windows 7 being the host OS. But I will be using Fusion when the hardware arrives.

 

I have tried to pair one of our Bluetooth products and my iPhone 4S with Linux Bluetooth (Bluez) inside the virtualized Ubuntu OS but I have not been successful.

 

I couldn't pair our product and my iPhone kept displaying a mismatched PIN which prevents me from pairing it.

 

When I used a typical Ubuntu installation to do the pairing, I had no issues.

 

Since the host OS is supposed to be able to share Bluetooth devices with the client OSes, it appears to me that this is a bug with VMware. Can anyone confirm/deny this? Thank you!
