Sigh. You are right of course. I had tried (and failed) to use an oldish Android phone to connect. And gave up. Then got it working on a little Android tablet .. but exhibiting the behaviour above. And actually the same behaviour in various BT tools on my iPhone.
It turns out that the original, failed, old Android phone was still up to something. Presumably connecting.
This is why the power-cycle/timing thing worked some of the time .. I was beating it (old phone) to connecting. Switching off old phone has cured problem !
Sorry to waste everyones time !
