Interesting. Works fine here in my sid/amd64 chroot.

The menu item is practically worthless and disabled in 4.0.1 unless in
deep experimental mode with the remote enabled - it's basically a
walking bug ;-)
It's also not needed for bluetooth either so ... they should just pair
in the normal bluetooth way, and then it should be fine to discover
libreoffice if the tool is enabled.
HTH,
Michael.

So it'll be "fixed" in 4.0.1...
