That problem seems to be specific to Android. I had Samsung ATIV S, which did not have this problem at all (Win Phone). However both S3 and Nexus 6 have it. The later I bought in part to make it go away at least partially:(

Indeed, they made a mess of it twice - right around when BlueZ finally got good, they switched to a different stack on Android 4.2 and broke everything again.

Remind me, was that before or after bluez introduced a pulseaudio dependency?

It was before BlueZ 5.0 was released. Not that it matters because BlueZ on Android doesn't use PulseAudio.
