I can reproduce exactly the same behaviour. I did notice that the unity-place-applications template got a new translatable string ("Applications"), whereas the unity-place-files template did not get any new translatable strings.
But even after translating "Applications" and installing the translations locally, that did not seem to make any change.
This doesn't seem to have been fixed here.
