Can you see the "b" choice in the capture menu?

I tried it with a minimal init.el, setting org-capture-templates as you describe
(and creating the ancillary structures as needed). Saving a link with `C-c l'
and then interactively calling org-capture and selecting the "b" template,
saves the link into ~/org/bookmarks.org.

I did not try with org-protocol.

That format is documented in the docstring for org-capture-templates.

That's the most precise recipe I have. For some reason that specific template 
cannot be found.

Isn't the capture template supposed to be a string?

Anyway, I'm not able to reproduce your problem. Could you post a more
precise recipe?

I'm aware.  The second (file path) is the capture template.  All other
templates work, except for b for some reason.
