I think the real issue is not the indicator "coming back" but the bluetooth state being reset on reboot (the indicator should stay here and bluetooth be disabled on reboot if it was previously disabled).

This is a (quite serious) power management issue since bluetooth eat energy.

I've confirmed this is still the case on a 2013-12018 update before touching /userdata/.writable_image, but bluetooth stays off after the image becomes writable.

This sounds a little like bug #1230275; however, indicator-bluetooth no longer pokes /dev/rfkill directly. Instead, it just powers the default bluez adapter on/off via bluez' dbus API.

Is it possible that bluez is making changes that aren't getting saved due to permissions issues?

  * Toggle rfkill again so that we have a chance of persisting the bluetooth
    state across reboots. (LP: #1232828)
