Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.

Setting `org-capture-templates' to something like

  '(("t" "Todo" entry (file "/tmp/yo.org") "Hi there"))

Causes `org-capture' to fail with the following error:

  Lisp error: (error "Capture template `t': The kill is not a (set of) tree(s) - please use <S-insertchar> to yank anyway")

Tracing through the source a bit, the problem is that
`org-kill-is-subtree-p' sees that "Hi there" is not a subtree and causes
`org-paste-subtree' to error out. Changing `org-capture-templates' to:

  '(("t" "Todo" entry (file "/tmp/yo.org") "* Hi there"))

makes it work correctly. This should fail sooner (such as when it is set
by custom) or print a more useful error message; I didn't know that the
problem was with the template string as I wasn't trying to kill
anything.
