This is a reminder about the pending patch. The bug is still present in 
the main branch.

"and kill-ring" was added in the commit

63f95c5c4 Carsten Dominik, "Release 4.34" 2008-01-31 11:31:55 +0100

and might be related to

but I may trigger

  let*: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil

on the main branch using `org-capture' with the "* A\nkill: %c" template 
and empty kill ring and X primary selection and clipboard.  Either I can 
not figure out what was the actual problem or protection was added in 
unrelated code.

So I still believe that my patch fixes the issue, but there may be more 
bugs around.
