Does that require a reboot to take effect?  Based on the redhat kb
article at https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 I've now tried

root@fubar:# modprobe -r btusb
root@fubar:# echo "blacklist btusb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/local-dontload.conf
root@fubar:# echo "install btusb /bin/false" >> /etc/modprobe.d/local-dontload.conf
root@fubar:# cat /etc/modprobe.d/local-dontload.conf
blacklist btusb
install btusb /bin/false
root@fubar:# modprobe -r btusb

...and the same log messages are continuing to appear.
