As usual su_v was spot on, when reminding me off-list that this has been fixed after the 0.91 release. I will make sure that this gets backported to the 0.91.1 release too, so that you don't have to wait for 0.92 to be released. This is just too annoying, snapping of cusp nodes being off by default.

For Inkscape 0.91, please read this related section in the release notes:
