Have you tried it? I would expect it to still work, after all, USB hubs
are intended to increase the number of USB ports you have.

yes, but you may need to re-install the BT drivers/software,
I find if I move most USB devices from one port to another,
they need re-installing.

No, I haven't tried it yet. Just wanted to know if there are any known
issues with this before I go and buy.

The only thing I could think of is that if your BT dongle is USB2 you'll
need a USB2 hub to get the most out of it. Unless BT isn't as fast as
USB1.1, that is.
