D'oh^2: everything else is interpreted, so why not %? ?
The problem seems to be in org-capture-place-plain-text: the insertion
of the text happens like this
,----
| ...
| (setq beg (point))
| (insert txt)
| (org-capture-empty-lines-after 1)
| (org-capture-position-for-last-stored beg)
| (setq end (point))
| (org-capture-mark-kill-region beg (1- end))
| (org-capture-narrow beg (1- end))
| (if (re-search-forward "%\\?" end t) (replace-match ""))))
`----
but it seesm that just before the re-search-forward, point is at
end, not at beg, so the search is fruitless. We could search backwards
to beg instead (but what is the semantics of multiple %? markers in the
template?), or we could just (goto-char beg) before the search.
