The officially stated maintainer for toshiba_acpi seems to be out of contact, but I'm responsible for the rfkill patch. I can only say that the patch is designed to re-enable bluetooth when the hardware kill switch is de-asserted and that I tested this to work before the change was merged. If it doesn't work now, it's either:
a) a regression introduced by one of the fixes for laptops with no bluetooth device. I consider this unlikely.
b) different behaviour in your model of toshiba vs. mine
c) a difference in how you've got the kill switch configured in sysfs. Not sure if that's even possible.
As you might conclude, I suspect B.
