I set up some audio with bluetooth recently and both bluetooth components are near X10 equipment. 

I noticed immediately that my X10 responses became only about 50% reliable.  Before this, I was probably about 99% accurate.  I shut the bluetooth down and it started working fine again.  I only played around with it for about 10 minutes, but it seemed pretty reproducible. 

So it would appear that X10 and bluetooth don't play nice, can this be?

Your experience should be a fluke. BT is 2.4ghz... same as the X10 cameras, wireless broadband, older wireless phones, and much more. More likely your "audio with bluetooth .....near X10 equipment" is causing power line noise.

Sorry to confuse, but nothing in that respect.  All I did was turn the iPhone bluetooth on and had it connected to something that received the signal.  Once turned on, X10 messed up.  Turn the BT off and things work fine.

I will try to do some more experiments and see what happens.

What was the "something"?   Whatever it is, it just might be the noise producer that Dave_x10_L posted about.

The "something that received the signal".....
Does it by chance have a small "wall wart" type power supply?  The newer type switching power supplies tend to kill X10 and need filtering.
