Hi, if you are requesting new keyword ideas (RequestType.IDEAS) then it is not guaranteed that return keywords ideas will be in such order that seed keywords come first. If you really want new keywords ideas, then you actually don't know the number of actual results so the best thing to do is to set Paging.numberResults = 800 (max). If you want only statistics for your two keywords then use RequestType.STATS in TargetingIdeaSelector.
Also, it looks like there is a different behavior between v201008 and v201101. TargetingIdeaService in v201101 doesn't return seed keywords if request type is IDEAS. Here is more info about TargetingIdeaService v201101 doesn't return seed keywords<http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/forum.html?place=msg%2Fadwords-api%2FXKMTJWl7aqs%2FVm1oXA9gABgJ> .
