FWIW, it's working for me. There was a change on July 8 having to do
with tags completion (using completing-read-multiple), but I'm running
with that change and I don't see a problem. OTOH, I'm not using
selectrum (or ivy for that matter), so the change may be interacting
badly with it.
I would probably edebug `org-capture-fille-template` and check that the
code around l.1733 in `org-capture.el' behaves as expected.
