I've played around a bit and got it working acceptably here... (I've switched to the rtm image some time but I think that's not the point...)
It seems like the location service is intentionally started without gps support. See ps -eaf | grep location and /etc/init/ubuntu-location-service.override. But deleting the .override file did not seem to be sufficient. It works for me if I let upstart start the location service with gps::Provider as the only provider... (exec /usr/bin/ubuntu-location-serviced --bus system --provider gps::Provider).

Title:
  GPS and location detection not working on Nexus 4

Status in “location-service” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Mako with MultiROM, utopic r239

  None of the apps I have tried including Weather, Google maps, OSM
  Touch and SensorStatus are able to use the phone's GPS. The
  SensorStatus app actually reports "Found supported backend", but finds
  no position or other GPS data.

  Location detection on the other hand is doing something, but it is
  really far off when it comes to determining the actual location of the
  device. The Weather app suggests my location as Vänsjö, Jämtland,
  which is about 400 km north of Stockholm where I am at. OSM Touch
  reports "no location available" and Google maps "Your location could
  not be determined"

  I don't know if the GPS has to "waken up" somehow, but it has not
  shown any form of life for me on Ubuntu Touch, even though it works
  perfectly fine when booting the phone as Android.
