Also seeing this behavior as of the 3.x release series on an HTC EVO 4G running 
Fresh firmware (Gingerbread 2.3.3) 4.x (all 4.x versions do this).  Not sure if 
it's a Fresh issue, as a prior Froyo version of Fresh shows the same behavior 
with tether 3.x but not tether 2.x series.

Well. Version 3.x of this app stops bluetooth on tether-start. This is "normal" 
because bluetooth interferes with tethering on some devices. So, it is a wanted 
behavior.

I will make it -  probably - optional (addition setting) in future releases.

This may be related to this recurring line in the code that reads a preference, 
that apparently cannot be set anywhere that I have found (could this setting be 
hidden from devices which do not support bluetooth configuration in the kernel? 
 If so, the setting should be re-exposed or defaulted to TRUE):

Boolean bluetoothWifi = sharedPreferences.getBoolean("bluetoothkeepwifi", 
false);

No. This has nothing to with it. The setting you mentioned is used when you 
tether via bluetooth and you want wifi not to be deactived on your phone (does 
not use the mobile-data connection but the wifi connectio for tethering).

Whoops - Yeah, I just came back to delete my last comment after reading the 
code further.  Guess I jumped the gun.  I think an option would at least make 
most people happy, as more choice is usually better (at least for geeks like 
us).

This issue is resolved as of the latest beta wifi_tether_v3_1-pre102.apk 
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v
3_1-pre102.apk. There is now a setting to disable turning off BT upon tether 
start. Woot, I can use my A2DP headset and tether without problems!
