Bug Description

For some reason I am able to display (and edit, but not tested) the editlocation-page without the forbidden message if I'm logged in and if the user in question hasn't set his/her location and timezone (with https://launchpad.net/~user-with-no-locations-set/+editlocation ).

This bug is a security vulnerability or atleast someone could abuse the editlocation-page.

Here are two working examples:
https://launchpad.net/~peruus/+editlocation
https://launchpad.net/~dpgravjob/+editlocation

--> Users who have set their location aren't affected by this bug, see for example:
https://launchpad.net/~mvo/+editlocation
