EDIT:

so I played around a bit and it turns out that if I'm connected, pictures taken after the location icon stops blinking do indeed have geotags.

no connection - no geotags

I also noticed that connection requests occur after that icon stops blinking

maybe that narrows it down a bit
The icon is blinking until it gets a GPS fix.

After a fix has been obtained, reverse geocoding starts.

The location coordinates should be in the exif tags after the icon stops blinking.
The country, city and suburb should be in the exif tags if the reverse geocoding query succeeds.

The problem was camera+ was trying all the time to initiate a reverse geocoding query (which needs connection). I fixed it now so it'd not retry if a network error has occurred. I hope this will fix the issue
