Bug: Capture Template With Link Returns Error [9.2 (9.2-elpaplus @ /home/dwrz/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20181230/)]

[David Wen Riccardi-Zhu]

I use the following capture template to store bookmarks:

* %^L :PROPERTIES: :NOTES: %^{NOTES} :END: :LOGBOOK: 
 - Added %U. 
:END: 

It was working fine until I updated my packages today. If I try to 
use the template now, the following is displayed in the 
minibuffer:

org-capture: Capture abort: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

This happens after the first prompt.

Hello and thank you. This behavior did appear to be fixed, but 
it's surfaced once again today.

I couldn't reproduce it.

Thank you! I wasn't really sure what kind of function to pass to 
add-variable-watcher, but using debug-on-variable-change, I got 
the following output:

Debugger entered--setting org-stored-links to nil:
  debug--implement-debug-watch(org-stored-links nil set nil)
  org-insert-link(0 "test")
  #f(compiled-function (s) #<bytecode 0x1961845>)("test")
  org-capture-fill-template()
  org-capture(0)
  org-capture-at-point()
  funcall-interactively(org-capture-at-point)
  call-interactively(org-capture-at-point nil nil)
  command-execute(org-capture-at-point)

I'm not sure what might be causing the last change to nil. Is 
there 
 anything I can do to try to shed some light on this?

This is the template I am trying to use:

* %^L :PROPERTIES: :NOTES: %^{NOTES} :END: :LOGBOOK: 
 - Added %U. 
:END: 

Many thanks,

David
