Make sure that you have org-20160704 from elpa.

# emacs -Q

;evaluate the following 
(custom-set-variables
 '(package-selected-packages
   (quote
    (org-20160704))))
(package-initialize)

; Now do:

C-x C-f ~/.notes
M-x org-mode
M-x org-capture
t

; This should result in:
Capture template ‘t’: Match data clobbered by buffer modification
hooks

I've tried to follow who clobbers it via GDB, but I keep getting
lost. For me it's always search_regs.end[sub] that has the unexpected
value.
