I get this problem frequently as well. I think it is due to capture trying to create a link from the kill ring (if you have a template that automatically creates a link of where you were or what you were working on for context).
I just kill some text and yank it right back in place, but it puts new text on the kill ring, which seems to fix the problem. I think the problem arises in the first place since I use Aquamacs (and CUA mode), and I'm not consistent in how I kill or copy text. It could be that I have an image on the Mac pasteboard, and so org (through Aquamacs) tries to put that in my capture item template when I call org-capture.
