Hi Veseo, I've been told that this behaviour is as expected: You get back stats only when we have stats to provide. So in this case, we don't have stats for banana and cake in German (language code 1001), but we have stats otherwise. So you get results back when LanguageSearchParameter is not provided, and no results if German is requested.
Looks like there was a code change at our end that caused this behaviour: In the past, we used to return 0 if we didn't have any stats, the new code path doesn't return a result if we don't have stats. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/pYq_-rtL00M for details. I believe PPC London's case (below) is due to that issue. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.
