Icon on menu bar when visiting a page that makes use of Geolocation with Safari
When using Safari in Mac OS X Lion and visiting a page which makes use of Geolocation, a location icon appears on the Max OS X menu bar. The icon displays the applications using Geolocation. The menu that it displays offers a list of any apps currently using Geolocation and links to the privacy preferences within the OS.
Firefox fails to bring this up.

Happy to take a look at this.
Whereabouts in the tree do we do our geolocation?

Should this only appear while a prompt is active, or for the duration that a page which makes a geolocation API call is loaded in a tab?

Quick check with Safari seems to indicate that it is for the duration of the page making the API call loaded in a tab. Once the tab is closed the icon, if no other app is making use of geolocation API calls, disappears.
Apps that have used the geolocation API in the last 24h are kept in the list within System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy.

Interestingly, just noticed that Bing maps (bing.com/maps) doesn't bring up the location icon. Google maps keeps working as it was before.
Now using 10.8.2.
