That's indeed a problem.  Can you file a bug about it?

If you don't want your location visible to others you may mark it as
hidden (on the +editlocation page).

As for allowing others to edit it, that's only allowed until you set
your own location -- as soon as you do that you're the only one allowed
to change it further.  Also, if you mark it as hidden, nobody other than
yourself will be allowed to change it.
