I've been having a possibly related issue with the same keyboard/mouse combo. Have you tried unplugging the dongle and then plugging it back in? While awkward, this works for me. I can't figure out why this is happening, but I think it has to do with whether the dongle is in Bluetooth adaptor mode or (as you call it) 'legacy' mode. I think plugging it back in after boot triggers this legacy mode, as it doesn't show up under the bluetooth menu. This is actually the desired behaviour for me, since I triple-boot the system and re-pairing bluetooth every boot is not a fun time.

dmesg seems to agree, as the dongle seems to show up as a USB hub with a keyboard and a mouse attached (see attached).
