This seems to be true of 0.41 as well, both add and non-add modes.
In 0.41 this worked in Pencil but not in Pen, now works in both.
Besides this could not "work in non-add mode" because there are no markers at all then :)
For me, it works both for pen and pencil, both in add and non-add mode. For me, there is indeed a marker drawn on the newly-drawn line even in non-add mode, allowing closing the shape. I've checked the XML editor that there is a `z' at the end, that it isn't just snapping to the same point.

- Toggle whether to add a newly-drawn line to the current path object when the new line doesn't meet any end-points.
As I wrote above: Shift+drag - draw a new subpath to the selected path
- Toggle whether to add a newly-drawn line to the current path object when the new line does meet an existing end-point.
I don't understand how this is different from the previous point, but anyway, Shift will fix it.
The distinction is where you want the new line to meet an existing line in same path without merging to a single subpath. My understanding of the shift proposal is that it won't allow this variation.
This distinction affects linecap/linejoin choice, and affects whether intermediate markers (if enabled) are drawn.
