I just tested it against 50a0e712cceeef02c0d6a7c41b619b308ea1b15c.
37d2a2d seems critical here.

On my computer with angry fruit colors, captions are formatted as

              #+caption:     caption text
AFC color     Red            Gray
Face          org-meta-line  org-block 

I don't know starter kit.  But the Leuven theme changes background colors
for various parts of Org like this:

      https://github.com/fniessen/emacs-leuven-theme/blob/master/images/agenda-and-task-list.png

Is that your theme?

For the latter try something like: (set-face-background 'org-block nil)

In the patch I guess this is the passage you disagree with:

+          ((equal dc1 "+caption:")
+           (org-remove-flyspell-overlays-in (match-end 2) (match-end 0))
+           (remove-text-properties (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0)
+                                   '(display t invisible t intangible t))
+           (add-text-properties (match-beginning 1) (match-end 3)
+                                '(font-lock-fontified t face org-meta-line))
+           (add-text-properties (match-beginning 6) (+ (match-end 6) 1)
+                                '(font-lock-fontified t face org-block)))

Perhaps it is possible to let normal fontification rule in region six
above?

IMO hidden link (== no color highlight and not literal) is no good.
