I was more referring to the app API, rather than the web API. But, the
web API looks like it does everything I would expect it to.

As per that documentation:

    If set to 0, it means that the device cannot use a cached position
    and must attempt to retrieve the real current position. Default: 0.

If this is not what the location service is doing, then that is
definitely a bug.

And, I would expect similar default behaviour for normal apps, such as
the Weather app.
