If you know to look for both, that's true.

Were I in a position to do anything about it, I would disable the 
"airplane" icon when the WiFi was turned back on. There are separate 
icons for "Mobile data" and for "Bluetooth" so that shouldn't confuse 
anyone.

Better still, I'd remove "airplane mode" altogether and replace it with 
a "no radios" mode, with an icon the didn't look like a plane.

[Do airlines permit bluetooth in flight? I'm not sure.]
