Oh no, it can certainly be a true compliment, as in "I just made these cookies, Miss Sallie, and thought you might like some." "Well, bless your heart, aren't you nice." (If the gift-giver is a child or a young woman, it could be "aren't you precious.") Or it can be an expression of sympathy, as in "My arthritis is acting up again." "Awwww, bless your heart."

I would say that someone should wrangle in their mouth, computer and invest in some restraint.
Bless her heart.
