LocationShown, which is similar to LocationCreated is specifically unset in ExifBitmapHandler::convertMetadataVersion line 78.

I've done the quick way out here, but i'm concerned that we might see more of these..

If i look at https://exiv2.org/tags-xmp-iptcExt.html there are quite a few XmpBag types, so i'm wondering if all of these are arrays' of single item objects in our xmp results and if these should not be converted to being a single associative array/object, before being passed to Mediawiki's metadata layer ??? Or is that what normally happens and is this particular file just have a broken xmpBag ?

@Bawolff considering you recently looked at xmp again, perhaps you have some insight ?
