I'm getting the error "Could not snap to a segment on the current layer" when trying to select a POINT feature in a POINT layer fetched from PostGIS with the node tool in edit mode.

The "Snapping options" are "Snap to: Off", "Snapping mode: all layers", "Tolerance: 0 map units".
There is a single layer in the map.

The error only happens on a subset of the points. I think those points were not there when the layer was initially loaded, and they probably fall outside of the original layer extent, although "Zoom to layer" includes them.

Saving the project and re-opening it does fix the issue, which seems to confirm the problem being with those points not being present initially.

1. Snapping is attempted while not requested by options
2. Snapping to "segment" is attempted when the layer is a point layer ?
3. New features are not visible by the snapper

This is with current 2.8 branch (pre 2.8.2).

I hadn't tried at reproducing it from scratch but I think it involves dropping and re-creating the PostGIS table after it was loaded as a layer, and adding new off-extent points to that table.
