The interesting thing is that it did _not_ oops when I remove
/sbin/hotplug (version 0.0.20040329-4). Also step by step modprobing
hci_usb / bcm203x does not cause any trouble (but does not work either,
even when rmmoding modprobing again for some time). It outputs:

modprobe bcm203x

Bluetooth: Broadcom Blutonium firmware driver ver 1.0
bcm203x_probe: Mini driver request failed
bcm203x: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -5
usb 1-1: bulk timeout on ep1in
usbfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed dev 3 ep 0x81 len 10 ret -110

So it seems the firmware is loaded or hci_usb is started while the
device is not yet ready.

Calling bluefw sometimes also timeouts but mostly works...

When the firmware is finally loaded bluetooth operates perfectly...

HTH,
