Yup. A tear down confirmed the antenna is connected.
The problem is that wi-fi and bluetooth inherently interfere with each other, both being on the same frequency band. Technically, they're not supposed to (BT should hop frequency to to avoid the wi-fi interference...something like that for wi-fi also...). But realistically they can and do interfere with each other, especially at very close ranges.
Typically in computer hardware implementations that have wi-fi and BT on the same chip, they set up the BT and Wi-fi to basically alternate broadcasting/frequency hop at high rates to avoid interfering with each other (best simple explanation I can make of it). So far though disabling wi-fi didn't help much...so probably something else at work here.
This is what I've been waiting for to justify moving from my rooted 1.0.0 setup. I kinda like the B&N launcher since I read on the NC pretty regularly...but it sounds like it's time to try CM7. Will work on it later this week / nexxt week, especially if they manage to improve the range at all.
