It is a new feature.
It should show up, if you must find several glowies and you just need the last.
It will also show where the last enemies are, when you are just lacking a few.

Oddly when I played the first mission of the first of the Dark Mirror arcs last nihgt, as soon as I rescued the hostage, little red arrows started popping up on my map. As I moved towards them, even more popped up that were further away from me. It took me a sec to realize what they were, but rather than showing me the last 10% or whatever, it showed me all of the enemies on the map. Not sure if that is WAI.

Ran thru the 'Rescue Mr. Yin' mish last night and noticed that after I defeated the last mob and turned on the map to lead the old man to safety, there was a red arrow at the spot where 'Blast of Boomtown' breathed his last. It stayed there until we reached the doorway.
I have seen different odd behaviours in relation to 'show last'.
To me it looks like that there still are some issues that they need to fix.

This happened with hubby last night, as well. I don't think it's supposed to work that way. He sent in a bug report on it.

This feature is very welcome. I can't count the number of times I've lost a handful of minions in a kill all mission over the years.
I was just playing the 'Deliver Outbreak' redside mish this morning and after clearing about 80% of the LongBow we decided to start in after the canisters. That big white star-burst made finding that last one a really nice little jaunt instead of the usual annoying fog-clearing run around block after block.
I hadn't expected this feature to show up. I'm liking this feature very much!

Oh I do love the new features of the maps - I am a very bad glowie hunter and it can be frustrating searching for the elusive last one! Either that of the last mob stuck behind a pillar somwhere almost out of sight...

<------I never would have found these guys...
Sure today is the first day of the rest of your life. But so was yesterday. And look how that turned out.
Playing last night after the delightful i17 appearance, i was on a mission with a glowie hunt and after decimating everything in sight I began the hunt.
Eventually it appeared my hide and seek skills were not up to par and I was getting annoyed when I noticed on the map a HUGE white star that said 'files' (iirc) and led me to them.
Is this new feature designed to help muppets who cant search a simple map (like me) or should it not be there??
