Personally I had some difficoulties too in understanding how to manage guides when the little circle first appeared, but I don't see anything wrong in having to read the documentation to understand how to use well a program. Of course it's better if you can avoid it but I think that when (not standard) modifiers are involved either you try all the combinations (and it's not always straightforward, this is one case) or you read some docs. Then the problem moves on the completeness and clarity of the documentation...
About the precision: the little circle doesn't give you the feeling of being able to place it where you really want (now that you have a big arrowed cross over it, on Windows, it's even worse!): only snapping does. That's why I asked for (un)changing the cursor over guides and fixing/restyling the snapping.
Thanks. Luca

So let's sum it up :)
Every guide has a guide origin mark, which roughly indicates placement of the point around which a guide can be rotated. Unlike other UI elements it does not serve as *precise* indicator which means that you do not really know how to use rotating on canvas until you read docs.
