Yep, that's normal. Bluetooth is really meant for point to point
connections as a substitute for a piece of wire. You can get devices that
will connect to more than one device at a time but they have to be
specifically designed to to that eg my Plantronics Bluetooth headset will
connect to two phones at the same time.

Not sure you'll be able to do anything about it :-(
