I have now tested more.
The freerunner running SHR (dec.16) removes the last letter (not the 
first), but this can be worked around by sending "sentry:locationn". It 
works flawlessly, I do get a location back now. SHR/FSO will probably 
fix that  letter removal problem in a future release.

I still dream of sending "sentry:map" and get a MMS with a map tile 
back, with the location marked. Don't know if the freerunner can send 
MMS, mine certainly doesn't receive MMS. (instead, the telco sent an URL 
for downloading the test image.)
