Thank you!

Ah, that's interesting, thanks for pointing it out. I thought I had
checked to see if org-end-time-was-given had a value after org-read-date
gets called for a capture :time-prompt, but now I see that of course
that wouldn't work without the surrounding let binding...   

OK, so with your patch, the way is clear to stick this value in
org-capture-plist and make use of it when filling %T and friends in
templates. I'll see if I can come up with a patch to do that, and
report back.

Best,
