Google’s improved search pages: no results

I'm guessing this is a test of some sort - but I've not come across two examples of search pages with no results in. They were both searches for locations - maybe Google sees a very high proportion of people who search this generically go on to refine their search. So instead of bothering with any results, it's just showing related searches?
Here's one example.
No results, just refinements when I search for Kentish Town
Here's another.
No results, just refinements when I search for Hyde Park
Or maybe it's a bug!
And not even a map?! Shocking.
I am unable to replicate this - are you certain it is not PEBKAC?
That looks wrong to me - I mean the suggestions are quite limited, it doesn't seem user focused (refinements yes, but not instead of results)
I actually get good results - but the animated +1 button on the .com version is slightly annoying...
