I'm messing about with some similar template-placement routines, so I
tried your recipe below, and it worked for me... Capture by default will
create a child of the heading point is on, so I really don't see why
this wouldn't work. You've stepped through the function and confirmed
that the (goto-char (point-at-bol)) line leaves you at the "Log"
heading?

Is the tree structure folded or open at the time? You might try an
(org-reveal) after the (org-clock-goto); I'm still not really clear on
the interaction between visibility and heading insertion.

I think you're note about "if cursor is at beginning of headline, same
level used" doesn't really apply here, as the capture process does a lot
more than just pasting a subtree.

Anyway, I can't reproduce the problem -- do try messing with
visibility...
