Hey Ihor, I recently upgraded my emacs to emacs@29 via homebrew, and I know this is an old thread, but now that my new emacs version comes with org-9.6.6, I am getting the same issues as I detailed in this thread with my org capture templates. I tried to do a reproduce with emacs -q but the error does not reproduce in those conditions, so it might be an issue with org mode interacting with some of my other packages installed. I will include a list of emacs packages I have installed, and my org-init.el file. Maybe you could see if anything jumps out at you that is causing this weird behavior.
