I have one of the white keyboards that predates the aluminum ones. I had it working fine using hidd and the hci reset method described in the blog post I mentioned in the bug description.

I have had trouble with this keyboard ever since the bluetooth stack was overhauled for Hardy. I used the actual terminal commands to inferface with bluetooth through dbus, and it works everytime. That, however, does not prompt for a pairing key or anything. I described this method here:

I have also tried numerous other tweaks such as altering the bluetooth device name to include only a very simple string of letters. Putting the keyboard in discovery mode, and scanning finds the device, but when you attempt to connect it just gives an error. That is all. If there is any more tecnical output I can give you please let me know and I will be glad to get it for you.
