I have just implemented that whenever you mean a file name
in capture templates, you can instead give a function, a
variable, or a lisp form.  So your original attempt

>> ("m" "Message" entry (file+datetree (buffer-file-name
>> (buffer-base-buffer))) "* MSG @ %U %?\n %a")

should now work.

Hope this helps
