Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have enable-recursive-minibuffers set to t, and just noticed that
org-capture does not work if called from the minibuffer.
Steps to reproduce:
1. run emacs -Q
2. evaluate (setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t) in the scratch buffer
3. Open the minibuffer, say by using C-x C-f
4. While still in find-file, run M-x org-capture and pick a template (t for Task seems to be offered by default).
You should get an error message saying "Can't expand minibuffer to full frame".

Would you be okay with a user-error message like
"Cannot call org-capture from the minibuffer"
?

Oh, if I'm going to get an error message I don't care which one it is.
Might as well leave things as they are currently. What I was hoping is that
you would be able to fix org-capture so that you can also call it from the
minibuffer, if enable-recursive-minibuffers is set to t. I like to think
that I can call org-capture no matter what I am doing, take a quick note or
reminder, and go back to whatever it was. It is almost like that: I can't
interrupt myself if the minibuffer is open, but I can in all other cases.
This is not a big deal, so if it's not easy to fix, just leave it as is.
But if it happens to be easy to do I think it would be worthwhile, so that
org-capture can live up to its reputation of being able to quickly capture
something /no matter what you were doing at the time/!

On my side that works. When it is enabled I get screen for Org capture
and I can do it.

One solution you can use is that you open separate Emacs instance or
Emacs as server that loads org-capture and serves for capturing
things. It may run in background without interrupting your work. It
can then spawn emacsclient to annotate or write the captured note.

Odd, it definitely does not work here. If I call org-capture from the
minibuffer, the *Org Select* buffer does appear, but choosing any
template produces an error message of the form:
org-capture: Capture template ‘j’: Can’t expand minibuffer to full frame

Sure, but a much simpler solution is to exit the minibuffer before
calling org-capture. *shrug*

You are right, I did not complete the task, and that error is
there. I don't think it is hard to make it work. I have tried my
personal recursive buffer editing and other function and such work in
recursive minibuffer, so it indicates that function org-capture could
be made better that it works in every condition.
