Unfortunately, the only way to 'fix' this bug is to disable the Bluetooth on the phone. Setting the phone to non-discoverable does not help, as tools such as @stake's Redfang or Shmoo Group's Bluesniff can still find the phone.

If I owned one of the affected phones I'd be very much annoyed at Nokia for taking so long to admit to the problem. Never mind the fact that they're not actually going to do anything about it.
