I read the help file for reshift ($redshift -h), and found:

-l PROVIDER Select provider for automatic location updates
    (Type `list' to see available providers)
so I went ahead and typed $redshift -l list, and got the following output:
Available location providers:
  geoclue
  gnome-clock
  manual

knowing that geoclue doesn't seem to be working at the moment, I ran $redshift -l gnome-clock, and voila! it works!

So I now added the following to my startup applications:
gtk-redshift -t6500:4800 -l gnome-clock (I find the 4800 color temperature to be ideal for night-use).

This bug should still be addressed, but till it is, I hope this helps others make use of this great program!
