Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:

When the home assistant app on my phone is reporting location to home assistant, it fails to report the zone when switching from high precision mode to regular.

For example, say I'm traveling from far outside my home zone to my home. It works like this:

1. First, there are state_changed updates every 30 seconds because I am not in high precision area.
2. When I get into zone.home_expanded, the mobile app then sends android.zone_entered to home assistant.
3. Now home assistant receives state_changed messages much more frequently, about ever 3 seconds. They show that I am not in the home zone still.
4. Eventually, the mobile app sends android.zone_entered with zone zone.home, which is what I expect.
5. Immediately after, the mobile app send another state_changed. It has the same latitude and longitude as in step 4, which is good. But it doesn't say that I'm in the home zone! THIS IS THE BUG.
6. About 30 seconds later, the phone gets a state_changed that includes the new zone, zone.home.
7. All the future state_changed for location are correct.

So it seems like the very first location update after switching from high precision to regular has the wrong zone in it, even though the latitude and longitude are all correct. I'm able to reproduce this by using a GPS faker tool on my phone. I also see this problem just driving home with my phone.

I think that there is a bug in the code that is causing it to generate and send that state_changed with the old zone from before the android.zone_entered.

I will try to investigate this using some AI.
