I can confirm this bug. None of the prompt shortcuts work in capture
templates. For instance, the following capture template...
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("a" "Appointment" entry
(file "~/org/inbox.org") "* %^{Appt}\n %^t%?\n %U\n %i")))
...simply inserts the following in a buffer without any prompts or
expansion...
* %^{Appt}
%^t

The problematic commit is the one having to do with recursive todos:
