iOS 8 Google Maps SDK myLocation icon bubble graphical glitch

Question

I am learning about the Google Maps SDK and getting to know Swift, and when I create a mapview centered on my location using myLocation = true, the location bubble shows up, but it appears with a square mask around it like this

Has anyone ran into this issue before?
