I'm using a capture template to create a new file (via read-file-name)
with some pre-filled #+STARTUP options. I'm using immediate-finish, but
while I was setting it up I noticed that captures to a new file will
leave behind a 1-byte file (containing a newline) if aborted with
org-capture-kill.
To replicate, just add a new capture template pointing to a non-existent
file, start capturing to it, then abort.

Thanks for you report. I can reproduce it, but I hardly consider it as
a bug.
Since your template is meant to populate the file, it is expected to be
created at some point anyway.
Note that it can contain more than a newline if you call, for example,
`time-stamp' from `before-save-hook'.
Regards,
