I strongly suspect that in this case the behaviour is caused by the
guides. The "hot spot" of the mouse cursor is dragged towards the guide
(within the snapping distance) and hence the click does not happen at
the anchor.

Not sure if this is fixable, since placing new points along a guide is a
desireable behaviour as well.

Try to disable snapping.
