Hi,

First, as a general comment: if this sort of info was available, I'd definitely use it (see http://github.com/jku/geoclue/commits/new-stuff for a first version using currently available API). Neighbor cell info would make non-complete cell location databases so much more useful...

Honestly I don't like either approach, the Agent pattern would be a
much better fit here. This would allow us to specify the polling/update interval and stop neighbor cell updates when no one
is interested in them.

In my experience, the positioning guys don't need periodic updates at
all. The data needs to be fetched on demand. Like whenever the user
starts up a location-aware application.

I'm willing to bet this is a chicken-egg problem: Why design software that uses periodic location updates if they aren't available?

Only exposing plain polling is fine if it makes sense in a powersaving (and api simplicity) sense: a version of periodic updating can always be implemented at the position service (geoclue) level if it seems useful.
