Application wizard: cannot create apps via templates on OpenShift online

steps:

1. ASSERT: have a connection to OpenShift Online (https://console.starter-us-west-1.openshift.com)
2. EXEC: launch application wizard via explorer ctx menu New > Application
3. EXEC: select a template (ex. nodejs-mongo-persistent), hit "Finish"

Result:
The wizard complains that the API version in the data for

• route
• image
• build
• apps

does not match the expected API version v1.

The services are create but other than that nothing is: neither bc, builds, rc, dc, is etc.
There's no error in the Eclipse log.
