Yes, and I think we could make a good case that the Android platform did a poor job of clarifying this to the user. I would guess that the typical android user thinks "location permission" means location data of any type as generated by any subsystem on the device.
To whom would a reasonable user assign responsibility for this protection failure -- app developers or the Android platform?
