It seems they have, I noticed that there was an option in my Settings called Location which allows the network to track you. It's turned on by default.

I went and checked my cell phone. I found the same thing, except my location tracking was turned "OFF". But like you stated, the disclaimer on my phone said that 911 would still receive my location, no matter what. It makes you wonder if there are other "undocumented" ways for the phone company to secretly turn "ON" that GPS locator, should they want to!!

The only way to not be tracked by cellphone is to take the battery out or take the chip out.
