Comment:

 The case also fails with JTS. It's a known limitation of the snapping
 code, quoting from the documentation:
 {{{
  * Too much snapping can result in invalid topology
  * being created, so the number and location of snapped vertices
  * is decided using heuristics to determine when it
  * is safe to snap.
 }}}
