The problem is that when you snap along a constrained line, that line isn't very likely to run exactly through the corner of the rectangle you want to snap to. Maybe I should and allow for really small tolerances in such a case.

I understand this, but I won't simply add a tolerance. I already suggested snapping to whatever is enabled to snap to (also if it's far from the guide), and project it perpendicularly to the guide. I've already seen this behavior in other programs (Illustrator? Coreldraw? I don't remeber now, maybe both). The "perpendicularly-projected" snapping is always useful when you are dragging with constraints (so also when you are moving an object with ctrl, for example).
