You are correct - I was sloppy in verifying the snapped points/targets. AFAICT when trying to reproduce it, I misread the snapping to be rotation center to rotation center when it actually snapped a corner node of a dragged rectangle to the rotation center (outside the bbox) of another rectangle.
Snap settings: Snap nodes and handles to rotation center, grid, guides; grid turned off.
Snap preferences: unchanged default
