I have noticed that Location gets active randomly when using the phone even when I don't have any background apps that uses location active in the background.
Below is a link to how it looks like from the home screen (The small circle to the left of the clock at the right side), it comes on sporadically, stays there for a few seconds, then goes away:

Find my Phone feature is turned off, and looking through the settings the only other option I see is probably turning location off for search and see if it stops happening when I'm not using any apps.
Anyone else noticing this?

Yep, probably Microsoft is tracking our location... :p

I wouldn't be worried. Most likely a live tile or app that "requires" location services and it is just pinging your location.
Same thing happened with my iphone all the time. The iphone did, however, show a list of applications that either recently, or currently were using location services. Would be nice to have that same feature in WP8.
