I don't know if it is an effect of 37d2a2d.  I'm also seeing a different
background for captions, similar to the background the emacs 24 starter
kit gives me for #+begin_src and #+end_src lines.

I use links for citations, which frequently appear in captions when I
specify the source of data, etc.  The paper I'm working on now looks a
bit ungainly in the Org mode buffer due to the literal links in captions
and the weird backgrounds.

If it is necessary to choose between literal links in macros or
descriptive links in captions, perhaps there could be a switch for users
like you and me who use one but not the other?

All the best,
Tom
