Expected behaviour:
All maps updating properly when I enter the area they're mapping.
Actual behaviour:
The first map pretended I was still outside the area (didn't chart new terrain and didn't update marker; resolved after relogging).
The second map retained a marker at the place I had previously left it and created a new one as I entered its area again (stuck marker still there after relogging).
I had two maps (both zoomed out all the way), one perfectly adjacent to the other (which is what I was trying to achieve). When I left one of them and entered the other, the map I was now on did not change the white indicator from a circle to an arrow and new terrain was not being mapped. After relogging, it was fixed, the map was showing the white arrow and the terrain that I had previously visited was now charted too. However, when I left that map again and entered the other, the white indicator that had been there from the first visit did not disappear, a new one was simply added. But this time, I was able to explore new terrain and have it added to the map. The old marker didn't disappear, even after I logged out and back in.

Can confirm, been experiencing since 1.7.2. Setup very similar:
OS: Linux Mint 14 Nadia (based on Ubuntu Quantal 12.10)
Java: OpenJDK 1.7.0_25 64-bi
Interesting, does this happen after uninstalling JDK and installing JRE? JDK is known to have a few issues with MC.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
The problem seems to be still there. I have used the smallest map size this time and I'm still getting the problem where the first map doesn't recognise that I've re-entered its area. I wasn't able to reproduce the second problem though, where an additional marker was added on the second map (which worked as expected this time).
Is this still an issue in the current Minecraft Snapshot 15w49b or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Regarding map indicators, I have issues as well.
I have a single level 4/4 map, with no copies of it.
While holding it in my hands, and walking anywhere within its boundaries, the green "placed map" icon persists at the center of the center of the screen.
Placing the map in another location does not move the icon or create a new one. There is no player icon visible on the map at all. Leaving and re-entering the area, as well as logging off and on, do not affect this.
