Two further thoughts: 1. That regexp works but it should really start with "^":
(org-capture-verify-tree (replace-regexp-in-string "^#\+[^\n]*\n" "" template)) 2. The fix I propose is a kludge. The real problem is the semantics of function `org-capture-insert-template-here'. My assertion: there is no reason to believe that a completed template of type 'entry must be a subtree in the sense of the contract of function `org-kill-is-subtree-p'. In other words, function `org-kill-is-subtree-p' is meant for something else. We either need a similar-but-different special-purpose entry-template verification function, defined in 'org-capture.el' itself, or, if we can do so without introducing other regressions, we need to modify function `org-kill-is-subtree-p' to accept "#+KEYWORD" in-buffer settings.
