Thanks for your expertise Adam.  It seems indeed that
org-agenda-capture (or equivalently, setting
org-capture-use-agenda-date) affects the default date at all stages,
i.e., for %u and for the default value of %^t.  This is done through
setting org-overriding-default-time.  I don't think there's any reason
to change this behavior, but it may be worth adding that info in
org-capture-template's docstring.  At the moment, it only says "time
stamp".

Cheers;
