It's fairly certain that the message comes from org-capture:
,----
| ...
| (condition-case error
| (org-capture-put :template (org-capture-fill-template))
| ((error quit)
| (if (get-buffer "*Capture*") (kill-buffer "*Capture*"))
| (error "Capture abort: %s" error)))
| ...
`----
and presumably from the call to org-capture-fill-template. The latter
part of the error message comes from the emacs selection processing
in the file src/nsselect.m which says:
/* NeXT/Open/GNUstep / MacOSX Cocoa selection processing for emacs.
in the function
,----
| ns_string_from_pasteboard (id pb)
| {
| ...
| Fsignal (Qquit,
| Fcons (build_string ("pasteboard doesn't contain valid data"),
| Qnil));
| return Qnil;
| ...
| }
`----
So it's MacOSX specific and in emacs C code. But I have no idea what
causes it.
I'm afraid that's about as far as I can go. If you can edebug the
org-capture-fill-template function, maybe you can single-step it and
figure out where it croaks and what values it passes to the function
that causes the error and then proceed further down the call chain.
