Aura Template and Locust Ability

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it just me or does the Aura Template not work for units with the Locust Ability.

If I give the aura ability to the one with the locust ability, the effects don't apply. Yet if I remove the Locust ability, it works.

Locust is meant for dummy units that work as special effects, normal auras wouldn't affect locust units I think? I am away of any object editor to test it. But the thing is that our range events and range enums don't detect locust units.
