FWIW, this does appear to be an Android problem, as a general search reveals a lot of Bluetooth device difficulties with the more recent versions. I've just updated to Kitkat 4.4.2 hoping they'd be fixed but I'm experiencing timeout problems. The connection is remade after a few seconds if the pedal is activated but of course that's hopeless for general use.
It's difficult to ascertain if the problem is Android disconnecting because of a stupidly low timeout setting or because the Bluetooth device isn't responding as expected to it's "getState" command and therefore breaks the connection. I have a full logcat text of what's happening if it's of any use to Mike.
FYI, I'm using my own Bluetooth foot pedal design rather than a commercial unit.
