Error when invoking remember before the first header of org file

[PT <spamfilteraccount@gmail.com>]

I have remember set up, so that new notes always go to a certain org 
file under a certain header:


(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "/todo.org"))
(setq org-remember-default-headline "capture")
(setq org-remember-templates
      '(("Todo" ?t "* TODO %?")))


It works well, but if I'm at the beginning of an org file, before the 
first header then M-x org-remember bails out with an error.

Is it a bug? Why does it care where I'm standing in the file?

Org-mode version 6.30:
