This may be well known by now, but I think we have figured out to key to getting exotic bounties. It's simple. You NEED to be in the vanguard faction.
I started ranking up the three factions as soon as I hit 20. Got to rank 3 in all of them. Turned in 100s of bounties and never saw a exotic bounty. Once all three were ranked up I moved to vanguard. The first night of turning in bounties as a vanguard and I got my first one - chose Super Good Advice.
Pstuart confirmed this on one of his alts too. So if you still haven't got an exotic bounty shed those Dead Orbit, FWC and new monarchy class items and switch to vanguard.

Maybe they changed this in a update or something but I just got an exotic bounty while working on my dead orbit rep.

I think it is just luck. It is a very small chance to get it. Pro tip, don't disassemble those rare fusion rifles! Save 10 of them in your vault. I used to get rare fusion rifles all the time but now that I have the exotic fusion rifle bounty I never get them. Had the bounty for 3 weeks now and I'm only at 6 out of 10 disassembled! Definitely wished I had a stash of them saved up!

I have never wore a faction item, and have still only received one exotic bounty (still working on it - bad juju... I hate PVP.)

Actually, the server is how to get exotic bounties, it depends which server you are on.

I think you get them when you level up or get close to leveling up the vanguard. I just got one today when i leveled up vanguard to level 4.

I just got an exotic bounty while being in Dead Orbit two nights ago. I had however already leveled my vanguard to level 3.
