Why won't MKMapView stop showing user location?

This is kinda the opposite of most questions on the topic. My issue isn't getting the user's location to show; it's getting it to STOP showing.

I have a view with an MKMapView. I set it's region equal to the user's current location, then I set it to not show the user location:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    AppDelegate *appDelegate=(id)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
    [self.mapView setShowsUserLocation:NO];
    [self.mapView setRegion:MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance([appDelegate.locationManager location].coordinate, 1000, 1000)];
    [self.mapView setUserTrackingMode:MKUserTrackingModeNone];
    /*Unrelated code*/
}

Even if I move this code to ViewWill/DidAppear, it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong? I've tested that self.mapView exists and is not null -- I even ran a debugger command 'po [self.mapView removeFromSuperview]' to confirm I had the RIGHT MKMapView (it vanished, as expected).

This was actually a simulator bug.

Turns out the iOS 5 simulators put the location pin in, even when they're not supposed to. Doesn't happen on device.
