At least part of the problem was XKBOPTIONS="altwin:ctrl_win ctrl:nocaps" is wrong
Yeah, I've been caught out by that one before too.
(To be clear, I'm setting /etc/default/keyboard *and* calling setupcon on ~/.console-setup for tty logins *and* calling setxkbmap for X sessions.)
I ran a quick test, just with a second USB keyboard (I don't have a bluetooth one to try), and it behaved as expected - ie, the options in /etc/default/keyboard were being applied to the keyboard connected after X is already running (Debian Wheezy). I didn't test the console setup. If you still have no joy, another possibility you've probably thought of already would be to put an InputClass stanza into xorg.conf which matches the external keyboard, and set the xkboptions there.
