I hesitate to answer because I'm not remotely sure what the answer is, but I have been playing with my bluetooth shield for a bit now, and communicating with the arduino normally over bluetooth doesn't seem to be a problem. My problems are with avrdude and doing uploads via bluetooth. You can read what I have learned about my shield here:
