Siri gave me the same response for a few days but apparently they've reverted that change because it has since started working normally again.

I am referring to the Google Now app.

Siri does kind of do a similar thing, to her a reminder is in the reminders app, you have to actually say alarm or timer if you want an alarm or a timer in the clock app, might be something similar with Google Now?
