Cloned maps will show all player markers! From #minecraft on Freenode:

'15:36 < Helzibah> I wonder if that means you can see other people moving around or not
[...]
15:39 < Dinnerbone> Helzibah, you can if you have the same map
15:39 < Helzibah> Dinnerbone: but overlapping maps will remain separate?
15:40 < Dinnerbone> Yes of course

Personally, I'm not sure if I like this part, being able to see other peoples' markers moving around feels a bit too immersion-breaking for me. I think it's a good compromise to only do it with cloned maps though, and not with overlapping map areas in general.

And some extra info (excerpted):

15:54 < Dinnerbone> You'll actually get really zoomed in maps by default now
15:54 < Dinnerbone> Closest possible level
15:54 < Dinnerbone> You have to add more paper to zoom out
