So if for example I have a strong GPS lock on the front door of my house, then stop using maps and then go somewhere else and decide to use a location aware service, (maybe something like pooperapp.com) is the last known position a big circle still centered on the exact coordinates of the front door of my house? >
Right now, the MP just ages out the Position, without properly obfuscating it. As agreed on the bug report, we will drop reporting of the last known Position as part of the ordinary Update mechanism altogether. Instead we will provide an explicit mechanism for last known positions, thereby allowing us to properly handle privacy/security concerns.
