I haven't tried specifically to duplicate your setup but org-capture
seems to work fine here.

So what happens instead? If I start capture, I get another window where
I'm presented with an "*Org Select*" buffer that offers me the available
choices and when I select one of those, I get a "CAPTURE-foo.org" buffer
for some value of "foo".  This is actually an indirect buffer and the
text should be inserted into the target location already, so you can
look at ~/org/journal.org (or whatever) and see that it contains the
partial entry just started.  See the description of org-capture: C-h f
org-capture RET.

If I were you, I'd probably use edebug to step through the org-capture
function (and I'd forget about byte compiling anything until whatever
problem you have is identified and solved).

HTH,
Nick
