I'm seeing the exact same problem. Tried with latest 3.8-beta2 and 3.x-dev.

I had the same issue on one of my servers but it was working just fine on a different server (using Location 7.x-3.7 on BOTH servers). Other issues for the Location module pointed out that disabling IPv6 on the server fixed the problem.

I tried doing a wget of the Location query url from shell and it did not work on the broken server. I then disabled IPv6 and tried the wget again and then it did work.

Now going back to the node, I tried to Re-geocode the location and it worked fine.

Might not be suitable for everyone but it works in my case.
