I'm using kubuntu and encoutered a similar problem. Hopefully this is 
still relevant to fedora.

The new pin helper stuff uses dbus to get the PIN on connection, rather 
than calling the pin helper directly. There's a passkey-agent program 
that will wrap a standard pin-helper to add dbus support. To get it 
running:

  passkey-agent --default /usr/lib/kdebluetooth/kbluepin

(this runs in my .xsession, so it just works on startup).

Hope this helps.
