`org-capture-get-indirect-buffer' constructs a name of a new capture
buffer as

(setq bname (concat prefix "-" base))
    (while (buffer-live-p (get-buffer bname))
      (setq bname (concat prefix "-" (number-to-string (cl-incf n)) "-" base)))

So, I can see the error happening when the buffer is not live, but yet
exists for some reason.

AFAIK, `get-buffer' check Vbuffer_alist, which should contain only live
buffers. If it is not the case, something fishy may be going on in Emacs.

I'd try to check the value of (get-buffer "CAPTURE-todo.org") and see if
it is a killed buffer or not.
