This I am not sure of.

When out in the field did you wait for an extended period of time to see if a location was received? If not, how long did you wait?

I did not wait the 12.5 minutes that are the maximum to receive that information via GPS. Maybe a minute or two...

I ran into this issue a couple of times in the last few days. I am traveling in a foreign country (Peru) with expensive call rates and no data plan, so I went into airplane mode to save some batterry. As soon as I was connected to the hotel Wifi the phone got my location.

This behavior can be explained very well by the Assisted GPS. I will keep an eye on that.

Do you know whether the cell towers provide this information even if I disabled mobile data? 

Dito.

That's great to hear. Thank you. :-)

You could at least parse them, when pasted into the search bar.
