I cannot reproduce using somewhat old Emacs 29
Development version 41d3d71a1e67 on master branch; build date 2022-10-28.

I can reproduce after updating to the latest master.

FYI, CAPTURE-test.org is nothing but a narrowed indirect buffer.
In this particular case, CAPTURE-test.org is narrowed to 1..4 before you
start typing. You can widen it and will see that it is still the
original Org file.

Note that test.org itself is also narrowed, which should not happen.
Although, narrowing of test.org during capture can also be seen using
Emacs 28.
