I did some more experiments and figured out an additional condition for this behavior: the jump does happen only if the line in which the snippet is expanded has indentation. In other words,

test<Tab> ....

works as expected, whereas

  test<Tab> ....

gives the behavior I described before. I did not mention this difference because I tested inside a C++ file and always had indentation.

Unfortunately I do not have access to Mac OS. Could you please check if you can reproduce the bug now?
