I had to review the BT stack a few months ago so I kind of remembered it a little.
btw I am not saying there is not a problem somewhere: just that I dont think it
is BT related and that the messages look OK.

However the fact that UIM is running late is probably not a good sign (since the
UIM hasnt changed in a while it must be something else)

if the problem continues to happen I can spend some time tracing it.
