To "solve" the above problem I have to launch an app which uses the GPS such as Mappero, then the icon re-appears in the status area and I have full GPS functionality but when I close the app the GPS icon disappears. As far as I can tell location-proxy is running.
As far as I know, this is the normal behaviour. The icon is only visible if the GPS is switched on or if a location is being queried.
