This seems to be a bug in org-annotation-helper.el.
org-remember must be called like this:

(org-remember nil ?w)

instead of like this:

(org-remember ?w)


Furthermore, in order to get %i as the region, you need to
select the text in the *org-ann* temporary buffer, after inserting
the text.  So after "(insert region)", maybe you need something
like:

(insert-region)
(goto-char (point-max))
(set-mark (point-min))

An you need to have transient-mark-mode on for this.
This is a hack, I think it is actually better to use %:region in
the template instead.
