That's very strange. As a first reaction I would argue that you didn't properly
shut down your 5.x daemon. The interfaces are so different that it should not
have worked. The Qt app uses whichever Bluez it finds at runtime. If 5.x
continued to run due to improper shutdown then the 4.101 policy would have no
effect and the install from 5.30 would have worked again.

The above changes are pretty much due to the API changes between Bluez 4 and 5.
It is more or less in line with what I would expect.

Do you get any output in the case of a failure without the above addition
(especially when debugging output is used - for details see further below)?
To the best of my knowledge there is no such interface as org.bluez.Manager1
(not in 4.101 nor in 5.x). The "1" prefix usually is an indication of Bluez 5
API but the interfaces are more precise in their naming (e.g. ProfileManager1,
AgentManager1 etc).

The above getDevice() function is related to Pairing and Bluez 4.x and involved
in device discovery at all. This would explain why you still get a list of
discovered devices and it also tells me that QtBluetooth jumps into the correct
Bluez 4 code paths.
I can only speculate as to the nature of the problem. The most likely guess is
along the line of not replacing the existing bluez installation properly. It is
not just a matter of reinstall. I would check that the old daemon is properly
shut down and no other process in the system is offering some pairing related
agent which may continue to run. I would suggest to turn on more verbose
debugging in QtBluetooth.
QLoggingCategory::setFilterRules(QStringLiteral("qt.bluetooth* = true"));
Adding the above line to your main() should do the trick and then run the 4.101
setup which fails without the manual policy change. Warning, this causes rather
verbose debugging output. Maybe it provides further hints.
Personally, I have never replaced Bluez in a system which involved a major
version jump. I have done 5.a to 5.b replacements though which seem pretty
straight forward. For 4.101 testing I use Ubuntu 14.04 (even 15.04 is possible)
and Fedora to get the latest 5.x versions.
