Actually its totally impossible that you get no extra output (other
than what you already pasted) from geoclue with
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Geoclue if your client is getting a location. You
must be seeing messages  like:

(geoclue:30295): Geoclue-DEBUG: Available accuracy level from GClueWifi: 4
(geoclue:30295): Geoclue-DEBUG: Available accuracy level from GClueWifi: 6


Having said that, i haven't tested under an environment w/o an agent
(gnome-shell) running for a long time. Maybe that explains some of the
issues here. I'll test that too..
