Not sure if this is a HiTechnic problem or not. The NXT was still running the Competition template code when it lost the bluetooth connection -- shouldn't that have stopped the robot by terminating the teleop program? That's what I would have coded for safety (i.e. an out of control robot still running in teleop... think of the burned out motors, let alone the refs running away! -- remember, the NXT will never know when to stop as the bluetooth link disappeared)
