Line 390 of control.lua is using the wrong field when calling surface.create_entity.
It needs to get the item.place_result which may not be the same as it's name. This is the fix that worked for me:
@390:
local proto_name = item_stack.item and item_stack.item.place_result or prototypes.item[ item_stack.name ].place_result
local new_entity = entity.surface.create_entity{
name = proto_name,
...
