With this backtrace alone (which involves org-capture catching the
internal error), I think it's going to be hard for anyone to guess
what's going on here.  It sounds like once you encounter this error,
subsequent calls reliably trigger it.  Next time you run into it, I'd
suggest re-evaluating org-capture to something like below to hopefully
see a more informative backtrace.
