Yes, that's a good point and an even better observation! When Inkscape
looks for snap targets, it uses the bounding box of each of the items in
a document, plus some margin (equal to the snap distance). If the snap
source is not within range of the bbox+margin, then that item will be
ignored. The bounding box does not include the rotation center however.
I could fix that quite easily for the snapper, but am not sure about
possible side effects yet.
It's strange though that snapping worked correctly when dragging the
objects instead of the center.
