I can confirm that the API is NOT working. Here is a sample call that demonstrates the problem. All queries using the "q" parameter appear broken: go to developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/children/list, at the end on Try it, enter folderid=0B-P6m1j2b6F4Mm5rc1QyTXNuYTA, q=hello, authenticate and run the query. RESULT: lists everything, regardless of what you put on "q". this is VERY serious!!

I'm having the same issue:
child.Q = "mimeType = 'application/vnd.google-apps.folder' and title contains 'SomeDocuments'"
Dim cl As ChildList = child.Fetch
it returns all the documents like there was no filter
Maybe something change on Google Drive API?
Update I can't find anything from Google, I wrote a feedback in the child list page. The only workaround so far is instead of using the children.list use the file.list method and in the q section add the - 'folderid' in parents - search term to emulate searching on childrens of the parent folder. The drawback is it will only search for document that has folderid as parent, not sub-folders like children.list method do.
Update 2 Looks like Google fixed it! Happy coding.
