Greetings, i write about this right here because i can't file a bug report for an outdated package.
Bluetooth in Arch is in a developing process and for that some apps are broken. For example, obexftp 0.22 can't be builded and don't seem to work with bluez 4.x. I build 0.23-alpha and compiled perfectly. Maybe i put it in AUR but i think is worth a dicussion for inclusion in Arch if is decided to use bluez 4.x and don't use bluez 3.x at all.
Also, bluez 4.29 have some real big bug, it simply can't pair almost any device (not mine at least). That's reflected in the bluez page and there's a new version 4.30 that address this issues. One more time i know i can build my own packages but as i said it needs to be updated.
I said all this because i think that for now is better to support bluez 3.x and 4.x. For example in gentoo, bluez 4.x is hard-masked, it has very little documentation, and the api and configs files change a lot, so for now adding support for bluez 3.x i think is not a bad idea.
BTW, bluez 4.x don't include a passkey-agent (at least not with that name), i suggest to include in the pkgbuild to install test/simple-agent, like is mentioned here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12851?string=passkey
