Yeah, modem manager is irksome, although in my case it only wastes 2.3 MB.
Did you try to file something like "make NM load helpers only as needed"?
Dan is usually quite responsive. At worst he'll explain in Bugzilla why
NM does it this way.

Bluetooth is generally attached through USB, BTW. NM could know if
BT adapter is on or not, even get events when it comes online (by flipping
hardware switch).
