When opening snapping.html, I see no geometries anymore.

When drawing a geometry, I see:

TypeError: Result of expression 'target.parentNode' [null] is not an object.

many times as I drag along a snapping edge.

Additionally, in the webkit ticket, you mentioned 

  http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.8/examples/graphic-name.html

I think you meant:

  http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.8/examples/snapping.html

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_1; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.3 Safari/531.9

is the version string.
