Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing here: You mean the 
City/Sublocation/State/Province/Country fields in the "Edit 
Metadata->XMP->Origin" plugin?

Output of exiv2 -PX
Xmp.photoshop.City                   XmpText     8  somecity
Xmp.photoshop.State                  XmpText    14 state/province
Xmp.photoshop.Country                XmpText     7  Germany
Xmp.iptc.Location                    XmpText    11  sublocation
Xmp.iptc.CountryCode                 XmpText     3  DEU

Cheers,

Michael
