On Linux, yes.

It's so because nobody'd bothered to update the CaptureSetup/Bluetooth page on the Wireshark wiki to indicate that Bluetooth capturing is now supported if Wireshark is using a sufficiently-recent version of libpcap and running on a system with a kernel with the Affix Bluetooth stack (which I think is the basis of the official Bluetooth stack that's now a standard part of the kernel). :-)

Yes, so I updated the page.
