For all of you, who do not want until the fix is available via update can simply edit the .xml files in /usr/share/compiz, namely unityshell.xml and place.xml.

1. In unityshell.xml (sudo gedit /usr/share/compiz/unityshell.xml) remove the line <plugin>place</plugin> in the <relation type="after"> block.

2. In place.xml (sudo gedit /usr/share/compiz/place.xml) add the line <plugin>unityshell</plugin> in the <relation type="after"> block.

Done :)

Enjoy a working Place plug-in and make sure to adjust the settings to your needs via CCSM->Window Management->Place Windows Plugin (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager).
