same problem with mesh, so bug is not limited to curves: bug snap mesh.blend

to better understand the problem maybe: bug snap both.blend
try to snap the 2 object on the left to the cube on the right, behavior is clearly different for both.

Campbell Barton changed title from ~~snap to nearest vertex is sometime wrong~~ to Snapping between 2 objects in object mode uses the bound-box of the source object

Thanks for the report, but this is not a bug, it’s intended to work this way (change to 'center' if you want it to snap to center of transformed object). Better behavior can be added, but that’s TODO. ;)

Added to transform snapping section: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/Development/Todo/Tools#Transform_Snap

(note, there are really a lot of snapping todo's)

then it would make sense to change https://www.blender.org/manual/editors/3dview/transform/transform_control/snap.html

 Snap Target
 ... 
 These determine what part of the selection snaps to the target objects.
 ...
 Closest
    Moves the closest point of the selection to the target.

 Snap Element
 ...
 Vertex
    Snap to vertices of mesh objects.

So looking at these description, it's legit to await the nearest vertex of moved object snap to the target vertex. I know no other program that snap the bounding box when vertex is chosen.
