UIDocumentPickerViewController and 'Locations' not showing in mode UIDocumentPickerModeMoveToService

I have Dropbox installed on my iOS 8.02 iPad.

I want to export files to either Dropbox or iCloud Drive via the UIDocumentPickerViewController.

If I present my controller using mode 'UIDocumentPickerModeMoveToService'

                UIDocumentPickerViewController *viewController = [[UIDocumentPickerViewController alloc] initWithURL:self.datasource.myFileUrl inMode:UIDocumentPickerModeMoveToService];
                viewController.delegate = self;
                [self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:^{}];

I do not get a Locations nav-bar button and so cannot select DropBox as an alternative location...

enter image description here

Whereas is I use mode 'UIDocumentPickerModeExportToService' when creating my controller, I do get the Locations menu item...

enter image description here

According to the Apple docs, there's a subtle difference between the two modes...

UIDocumentPickerModeExportToService The document picker exports a local file to a destination outside the app’s sandbox.

Available in iOS 8.0 and later.

UIDocumentPickerModeMoveToService The document picker moves a local file outside the app’s sandbox and provides access to it as an external file.

Available in iOS 8.0 and later.

Which to me, doesn't signal that Locations will be restricted depending on which mode I select.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong here?

This appears to have been a bug as it is now working correctly in 8.1
