Thanks for the report!
This is quite a hacky capture template...
What you are seeing happens because template expansion happens in
fundamental-mode and org-set-property does not work anymore outside
org-mode.

I'd say that setting org-mode during template expansion is reasonable.

The fix is attached.

I do not push the fix just yet. If anyone think that enabling org-mode
during template expansion is undesired, please let me know.

Best,
