Yes! Stupid me. The phone never indicates anything about network 
connections in bluetooth device properties, but when I recheck available 
data profiles in device vicinity I found new connection entry in 
ready-to-use state. I just selected this profile as my primary internet 
profile and:

ifconfig tap0 create
btpand -d ubt0hci -i tap0 -s NAP
tcpdump -pni tap0

And I can see DHCP requests from phone!
