Are you sure this is different in 7.1 and 7.2?  Is the variable
nil or undefined?

The think is, the custom-set-variables only stores the intended value.
If the variable is not yet defined (i.e. org-capture.el not yet loaded),
it will wait until you load the package and then set the variable to
the customized value.
