No, libvirt doesn't have explicit support for bluetooh at this time.

Libvirt assigns PCI addresses for every device it adds. QEMU will assign
addresses for any device that doesn't have an address present. Your
custom device is missing an address and QEMU is asigning one, unaware that
the address it picks will clash with one assigned by libvirt.

To fix this you probably need to add addressing to your device addition,
but I'm unclear about exactly how the bluetooth devices work in QEMU so
can't give an explicit recommendation
