Edits to GPS metadata not saving to JPG files

Edits to every other type of metadata, e.g., IPTC, save to the original JPGs when applied, but this doesn't appear to be working for GPS metadata. Those fields, e.g., Latitude and Longidute, appear as edited within Bridge, but nowhere else. And within Bridge, the edits vanish when the cache is cleared on the parent folder. Is there something I'm missing about how to edit or delete location info in the Metadata window in Bridge?

Perhaps related, I am unable to clear GPS data from JPGs in Bridge 16.0.3.21. A scanned photo with no GPS data doesn’t even show the fields. In a JPG with GPS data, I can blank out the fields and apply the changes, but the fields are not removed from the JPGs. I does look like I can edit the GPS to show 0,0.0N / 0,0.0W, which does suppress location display in my photo frame software, which is what I want.
