Capture template --- :empty-lines 1 results in error

Capture template --- :empty-lines 1 results in error

This may be a bug?

I have this template in my list of templates, to open the file with my
templates, so I could edit it:

       ("i" "Edit ~/org/capture-templates.2.el" plain (file
"~/org/capture-templates.2.el") "" :empty-lines 1 :unnarrowed t)

I started to get an error when running this template, and a few others.
This started somewhat recently, but I don't know exactly when.

    When I removed the ":empty-lines 1" part, the template worked fine.

        ("i" "Edit ~/org/capture-templates.2.el" plain (file
"~/org/capture-templates.2.el") " "  :unnarrowed t)

I am pretty sure that this is not only from the "empty-lines 1 part.
Another template with this option does work ok, but has ":prepend t".

Can you tell what error?

(setq debug-on-error t)

Hard to reproduce... perhaps you can try to bisect and find the 
culprit commit?  Or just rewind a bit and tell what version works
for sure, and what version doesn't?

Thanks in advance,
