I'm traveling and have limited access and tools.  I've figured out
this much:

I had an emacs 24.1 install.  This has elpa and org 7.8.11 in the root
lisp area.  This also includes the 7.8.11 contrib directory.

When I use to elpa to upgrade the package to 7.9, it upgrades the lisp
directory but does not include the contrib directory.

When I start emacs, it finds the 7.9 org-mode, and does not detect a mixed
install.  The distribution org is all 7.9.

When my .emacs has the (require 'org-checklist) it finds the contrib 
directory in the 7.8.11 lisp directories. (I think).  There is no reported
error.  

All sorts of things work fine, but the new context aware changes for
capture interact in some bad way with the org-checklist from 7.8.11.

I won't have the right tools to figure out exactly what is going wrong
until I return from travel.  For now, the fix was quite simple.  I
removed the (require 'org-checklist) from my .emacs and the problem
went away.  It's entirely possible that there are other aspects of my
config that are also needed.
