I am somewhat confused here.  Why would removal of the `require'
statements fix the problem?  Should we not *have* (require 'org-install)
in order to have the latest org-mode be activated and loaded?

Actually, I am having the same problem here after upgrading to 7.02.  
Hitting C-cc does run `org-capture' correctly, but the value of
`org-capture-templates' (which was set using the customize interface,
and has been saved to a separate emacs-custom.el file) does not have the
set value.

Using C-h v on `org-capture-templates', I get:

,----
|     org-capture-templates is a variable defined in `org-capture.el'.
|     Its value is nil
| 
|     Documentation:
|     Templates for the creation of new entries.
`----



Specifically, the value of this variable remains as `nil', and
attempting to view the value via `customize-variable' returns a state of
"CHANGED outside Customize".  However, the actual value is empty.

,----
|     Org Capture Templates:
|     INS
|     State: CHANGED outside Customize; operating on it here may be unreliable.
|     Templates for the creation of new entries.
`----



I am running GNU Emacs 23.2.50 and org-version does confirm org-7.02.

BTW, whats with the org-7.3 on http://orgmode.org?
