[Red face mode]
Now I know the superficial cause of the problem.  The program ran hcidump:
subprocess.Popen(['hcidump', '-i', adapterId, '-w', fname])
in order to gather info on some other problems.  Under some circumstances it 
didn't clean up the process before terminating.

Killing the hcidump cleaned up the files in /sys/class/bluetooth and I no longer 
get the error.

If anyone can explain why, I'd be very interested.
