starting from commit 6daad64277c43a6589de1c6a146ca8a72fe0e3b9 attempts to use the org-capture template expansion "%x" results in the following backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Capture abort: (wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p nil)")
signal(error ("Capture abort: (wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p nil)"))
