That's probably not enough: the above code is inside a condition-case, and
the documentation of condition-case says

,----

So you might have to modify org-capture.el slightly to actually get a
backtrace:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
          ...
	  (condition-case error
	      (org-capture-place-template)
            ;;; add debug to the list temporarily
	    ((error quit debug)                                ;;;;<<<<<<<<<<<<
	     (if (and (buffer-base-buffer (current-buffer))
		      (string-match "\\`CAPTURE-" (buffer-name)))
		 (kill-buffer (current-buffer)))
	     (set-window-configuration (org-capture-get :return-to-wconf))
	     (error "Capture template `%s': %s"
		    (org-capture-get :key)
		    (nth 1 error))))
          ...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
