Comment (by maltfield):

 Update: it appears that the error goes away if the `width` option is
 provided.

 Per the documentation (linked-above), the `width` option *is* required. So
 when using the `[caption]` shortcode properly, this doesn't result in an
 error.

 But, in any case, this is still a bug as misuse of a shotcode shouldn't
 result in a PHP Fatal error..
