(Note that this is a different issue from MCPE-25907, which I also reported)
Problem: Host and non-host have inconsistent or incorrect map marker visibility on non-cloned maps.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start an online world and invite another player
2. Equip both players with locator maps
3. Have each player use and look at their locator maps
Expected Behavior:
(According to Wiki)
A) If the maps are clones of each other, both players should be able to see both markers
B) If the maps are not clones of each other, each player should see their own marker only
Actual Behavior:
A) Unknown if the maps are clones of each other; I need to test this
B) If the maps are not clones, the host can see both markers (subject to MCPE-25907), but the non-host cannot see the host's marker (which, if I'm reading the Wiki correctly, is intended behavior for non-cloned maps)

Consulting the Wiki, this may be intended behavior?
Other players will only be displayed on the map if they have a map in their inventory cloned from the one being looked at.
But that doesn't explain why my map showed his marker, but his did not show mine. If the maps were not clones of each other (I don't think they were; I think he was using his initial "free" map), shouldn't we both be "blind" to the other player's location? Or, as host, do I get some special override to see all other players in the game on my map regardless of cloned status?
