System Information
Operating system: Linux-4.15.0-66201911071317-generic-x86_64-with-debian-buster-sid 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 390.116

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.82 (sub 6), branch: master, commit date: 2019-12-30 18:20, hash: 56ef761381
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
One would expect the poly-build-tool to create new vertices on the surface of the high poly mesh that one is going to retopo. That's not the case with snapping enabled.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open attached .blend file.
With the Poly Build tool try to use the ctrl-click-thing to extrude a new vertex on the monkey's surface (snap should work).
Enable the toggle Snap.
Try the ctrl-click-thing again and note that snapping doesn't work.

Confirmed. The trigger is actually inverted. You can see that leaving the snap target to "Face" and turning off the snapping actually works.

After analyzing again, this is not a bug, but it is how the Transform operator works.
Poly Build calls a macro with the Transform operator at the end.
The Transform operator has a modal key called "Snap Invert" which by default is Ctrl.

"Holding down Ctrl inverts the snap setting in transform (turns it on when global snap is off and vice versa)" (#72913)
