I tried it again exactly as you explained and now can confirm that this
behavior occurs when there is no blank/new line at the top of the
remember target file. (When I tried it before, I used a file that had a
new line.)

To duplicate the bug, I did the following:

1) "touch example.org"

2) called the remember template above.

If you want a temporary fix, ensure that there is a blank/new line (or a
comment line) at the top of your target file. (If you have content in
the file, this shouldn't be a problem.)

Best,
Matt
