OK – I did the following. I allow for functions in the filename positions of templates, changing org-remember.el as follows:
> diff ../../org-6.05b/lisp/org-remember.el ./org-remember.el
321,322c321
< (file (if (and (nth 1 entry) (stringp (nth 1 entry))
< (string-match "\\S-" (nth 1 entry)))
---
> (file (if (nth 1 entry)
351a351,353
> (when (functionp file)
> (setq file (funcall file))
> (message "after funcall file, file = [%S]" file))
~/emacs/org/lisp
>
So my remember template list includes:
("Todo (local)" ?t "* TODO %? %i\n"
,(lambda () (buffer-file-name org-select-template-original-buffer))
So if I invoke org-remember and choose “t”, it will save the resulting TODO item in the file from which I invoked remember.
Could be made more robust, but it works for me.
Let me know if you think this might be generally useful.

Subject: [Orgmode] set remember default file to be originating .org file
If I invoke remember from a .org file, e.g. “foo.org”, I would like the default file to which the remembered note is saved to be that file, “foo.org”.
I work on several projects at a time, and the project mix changes monthly. While on a project, I generate lots of project-specific notes and TODOs. So, I like to have project-specific .org files.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks.
