Bug in Search PageLayouts in SharePoint 2010

Today I was working on a SharePoint 2010 site, and I tried to let the search site use the same masterpage as the site not the minimal.master which is the default.

And after a while I found that the problem is that the webpart zone is added in the "PlaceHolderTitleBreadcrumb" place holder and not in the "PlaceHolderMain".

As you can see in the image, the search filtration is not in the place as it should as well.
