Location Permissions bypassed by Author Pane module?

Hello-

An issue has come up with regard to how the module Author Pane exposes user Location information by default, ignoring Location's permissions. I just thought I'd point it out as it involves an interaction between the modules and it is presently unassigned,

(Apologies if this is not the appropriate channel. Corrections/admonitions gladly accepted. The interaction of these modules is above my skill level but exposed user info is a real problem.)
