I can confirm this bug. None of the prompt shortcuts work in capture
templates. For instance, the following capture template...

(setq org-capture-templates
      '(("a" "Appointment" entry
                 (file "~/org/inbox.org") "* %^{Appt}\n %^t%?\n %U\n %i")))

...simply inserts the following in a buffer without any prompts or
expansion...

* %^{Appt}
 %^t

The problematic commit is the one having to do with recursive todos:
