This is not a very satisfying answer, but Google support has confirmed that they already have a bug logged for this (EDIT: There is currently no ETA for a fix.Google informed me that they deployed a fix. Unfortunately I couldn't test it personally because I had already converted to a full account which got around the problem.). The workaround they suggested is to use the gcloud command line tool, which of course is a tedious solution. Until they fix it, here are some tips for using gcloud.

List of available machine types plus zones:

gcloud compute machine-types list

List of zones:

gcloud compute zones list

The create command has a million options, but it starts gcloud compute instances create. The full syntax is described here.
