After our early teething problems integrating Bluetooth with moOde (many versions ago), it now works reliably with all my Bluetooth devices---Google Nexus and Pixel tablets and phones, Apple iPad, all speakers and headsets. The only device I ever had to give up on was a first-gen Amazon Echo and the problem there was on the Echo end of the connection.
As for remedies, that's a ton of posts (sometimes they're even relevant!) out there on the InterWeb concerning Moto phones and BT-connectivity issues, just like there is for many other phones.
Good luck.

I've borrowed a number of phones and tablets to test the connection and it appears your suspicion is correct, it is the stupid Moto phones. Also, I see from other forums that people have had problems using Moto-G with picoreplayer and volumio. The pattern suggests the phone is the root cause.
Still I'm not quite ready to give up on the Moto yet. I'll look for a replacement ROM with a vanilla android / bluetooth stack and hope that'll sort out whatever issues the Motorola developers jammed in to the package. If that doesn't work then I suppose it'll have to be a new device. If it does mean the nuclear option then is there anything I should look for or which I should look to avoid?
