Thanks for an interesting bit of information.
What happens if you wait a minute after startup before using your remote?
What Mac model are you using? And more particularly, is it one of the latest Mac mini or MacBook Air models?
Regarding resetting the information stored by the Bluetooth stack to defaults: Apple provides a tool for this, actually, and goes farther than just removing plist files. It also resets the information stored about your Bluetooth devices inside the Bluetooth chip itself.
It's part of the Developer Tools (possibly also comes with Xcode from the Mac App Store) and can be found under
/Developer/Applications/Utilities/Bluetooth/Bluetooth Explorer.app
The tool for resetting Bluetooth information is found in its menu under
Utilities > Modify Software & Device Configuration
I personally used this tool during development with all checkboxes selected (except for the "Force Setup Assistant to run again on restart" and "Force Language Chooser to run again on restart" - which I always kept unselected) for intermediate tests (for final tests, I'm using a whole set of different machines).
Best regards,
Felix Schwarz
