I was having similar issues with getting btvirt working. I resolved my
issue by using btmgmt to set the virtual adapter I was trying to
connect to have "connectable on".

As you can see below, the two virtual adapters are created without
being connectable:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ btmgmt info | grep -P "hci|current settings"
hci2:   Primary controller
        current settings: powered bondable ssp br/edr le secure-conn
hci1:   Primary controller
        current settings: powered bondable ssp br/edr le secure-conn
hci0:   Primary controller
        current settings: powered connectable bondable ssp br/edr le secure-conn
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo btmgmt --index 1 connectable on
hci1 Set Connectable complete, settings: powered connectable bondable
ssp br/edr le secure-conn
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ btmgmt info | grep -P "hci|current settings"
hci2:   Primary controller
        current settings: powered bondable ssp br/edr le secure-conn
hci1:   Primary controller
        current settings: powered connectable bondable ssp br/edr le secure-conn
hci0:   Primary controller
        current settings: powered connectable bondable ssp br/edr le secure-conn
