I routinely have two parallel logins on KDE, one for my wife on Ctrl-Alt-F7,

Is this normal behaviour?

Yes, it would be, as you seem to login your wife first, try to login
yourself first.

So two people can not share one piece of bluetooth hardware? Only one user
can use it? I thought linux was a multi-user os?

Some hardware access is a bit difficult to make to work in a good way,
say you had 100 users logged into the system, how to determine who to
get the connection, what if person 75 downloads the file first, should
the file be buffered for the the others to "download" at a later point
and what about user 36 who thinks this is just some kind of spam.

Much of the hardware is assigned to the first user who logs in, as audio
in most system will belong to the first user logged in, the second one
won't get audio if the first user still is logged in.

If you instead of sending the file to the computer, fetched the file
from the remote device, then I think it would work fine for you.
kdebluetooth has good support for fetching files.
