Can u press and hold the option key on the BT keyboard to get to OS boot selection?

Yes, if the KB is paired with OS X, on boot it works 100%

It is for sure a Windows/driver issue. I did find an article where someone was able to get this working on their MBP by unpairing with OS X, pairing with Windows after removing the BC drivers and using what Windows Update used, and then pairing again with OS X.

For anyone else who has this issue, here is what I found. I have a solution, but it is only partial.

Bluetooth KB and magic mouse work before you install bootcamp drivers in Windows 7. They even work in the installer.

The Apple keys function keys do not work until the BT drivers are install.

After the boot camp drivers are installed, the KB and mouse seem to work for about 1-3 minutes on boot, then never again. Apple function keys work as well. This includes scroll on the MM.

Uninstalling and deleting the Apple Bluetooth drivers (an option on uninstall) bring back basic functionality, but no the Apple Function keys or scroll on the MM.

So sounds like there is a 'work around' that isn't very palatable to me. I will be using another KB and mouse until the new bootcamp update is out that supports the new iMacs.
