I am seeing similar behaviour from Org Capture. That is:

- It doesn't open the buffer for the user to add text to the capture.

- A message "byte-code: Capture template `t': org-called-interactively-p" is 
displayed.

- The capture _does_ get written to the target file.

- However the capture written to the target file contains "%?" literally 
inserted into the entry.

I'm using templates similar to these.

The main thing I can add, is that if I change "entry" to "plain", Capture works 
just fine. (Of course, in many cases one wants entries, so this is not a 
solution.)

I'm using GNU Emacs 23.3.1 ((i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2011-03-10) and Org 
Version 20120611 (7.8.11) which I downloaded/installed with the Emacs package 
manager system.

I apologise if there is already a solution to this issue (I didn't see it), and 
I hope this additional information is helpful.

Regards,
N.
