Yes, I can. What version of emacs are you using?

Mine is: GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.22.0) of 2011-03-16. I'll update 

I tried running emacs under gdb, but I cannot reproduce it in that
situation. Nasty.

PS. I tried it with the following minimal.emacs by invoking emacs like
this:

   emacs -Q -l ~/minimal.emacs

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; constant part
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/emacs/org/org-mode/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . org-mode))
(require 'org-install)
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)

(setq org-capture-templates
'( ("T" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/org/gtd.org" "Tasks") "* TODO %?\n  %i\n  %a")))
