How did you confirm this? Presence of the Location icon on the lock screen?

This is expected to work. Both the Geoclue master and the provider processes 
monitor DBus disconnections and will clean up any associated interfaces. The 
provider processes will then close 30 seconds after there are no more 
connections.

How to test that geoclue-master is working:

Run

/usr/lib/qt5/bin/qdbus org.freedesktop.Geoclue.Master | grep 
'/org/freedesktop/Geoclue/Master/client' | wc -l

to see how many processes have started positioning.

Run the above command, expect 0
Run sailfish-maps
Run the above command, expect 1
pkill -9 sailfish-maps
Run the above command, expect 0

It is harder to test this functionality in the providers as the number of 
connections are not readily available.

Can you check whether there are any client interfaces exported by geoclue-
master with the above command. Also what geoclue processes are running (ps aux 
| grep geoclue).

Cheers,
