In the end this turns out to be an outstanding bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=924516 ... ...geoclue is communicating with location.services.mozilla.com when it should not. Work around is to disable and mask geoclue.service. I note that I do not have a geoclue.service to disable or mask, opened the Maps app from my LXDE desktop (with org.gnome.system.location enabled set to false) and Maps found me anyway (within a small stone's throw).
