After some more checking, I set audio.conf as follows:

[General]
Enable=Source,Sink,Headset,Control,Media,Gateway
Disable=Socket

[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0

$ pulseaudio -vv gave this:

D: [pulseaudio] bluetooth-util.c: Registering /MediaEndpoint/HFPAG on adapter /org/bluez/13659/hci0.

Using Blueman-1.23
Paired device (Jawbone Icon Headset)
Connect to Headset service

E: [pulseaudio] module-bluetooth-device.c: 00:21:3C:5B:E7:23 is not known.
E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-bluetooth-device" (argument: "address=00:21:3C:5B:E7:23 profile=hsp"): initialization failed.

I then restarted pulseaudio and the headset profile was connected and the headset appeared in pavucontrol

I was also able to connect the A2DP profile.

Is this (the need to restart pulseaudio) a bug?
