Here is a capture entry that should do what you want.

((";" "bookmark" plain
   (file+function "~/lib/emacs/work/org-mode/t/b.org"
		 (lambda ()
		   (while (org-up-heading-safe))
		   (org-end-of-subtree t)
		   (or (bolp) (newline))))
   "** %?")

How it works:

1. We use `plain', not `entry' to get the text inserted as it is, with  
no
    magic to try to adapt the level
2. We make he function first travel up the hierarchy to loose
    any dependence on local current depth
3. The we use org-end-of-subtree to jump to the end of the tree,
    then make sure we are in a new line.

Hope this helps.
