It snaps to the two points defining the end of the pad. I agree that isn't ideal. I've got a patch in my stack which reworks the snapping code to let you get at objects PCB otherwise makes really hard to snap onto, but its not 100% right yet. If people like the new behaviour (when its fixed), I'll see if we can get that committed into PCB.
