You can refile a note from the capture buffer with C-c C-w.
I added a command to /copy/ the note instead of refiling it: C-c M-w.
Finding the copying location works the same way than for refile. So
now you can copy the item from the capture buffer to several files.

The available process is a bit different: capture, edit, refile or copy,
then finalize the capture process.

Two months of googling! Phew. :)

Yes -- hence the different process describe above.

Please try the new feature if you can (it is in the git master branch)
and let me know if it helps.
