It is working fine here. Did you change the default keymaps?
Try with the default Blender settings (File -> Defaults -> Load Factory Settings).

That didn't seem to change anything. It does work on my other machine, but not on this one. The Shift seems to work for what it does. But the Ctrl is not causing snapping, only bullseye highlighting after release.

@Absinthe, reopening - we will need a test case to reproduce the error.

Not that the issue fixed is pressing Ctrl on it's own didn't refresh snap (you needed to move the cursor after to refresh snapping).

I just tried it at work on yet a different machine and again it works exactly as expected here too.

When I do other snapping actions there is a reasonably responsive snapping response. I would only assume that this would behave with some similarity to them as it does on the other machines upon which it does work.

When it fails it is simply starting the program, clearing the popup screen, selecting the tool and drawing an arbitrary line followed by grabbing one of the ends and dragging it to the corner of the default cube. With the ctrl held (where it doesn't work) there is no snappiness or jumpiness to the point. As a matter of fact once placing and releasing the end rotating the screen shows that it is nowhere near the snapping area as it is out of plane with any line or vertex even remotely near where you would have thought you were trying to place it.

I found out what went wrong. This is a matter of having the setting of "pointer location" in the TweakUI tool | Keyboard & Mouse set to on. Once I set that off the problem goes away and things snap with the Ctrl key as I expect. This is not an uncommon setting to help find your mouse pointer. However, I would be satisfied just knowing that it was not a compatible setting.

Warning when there are conflicts in the keymap would be a good feature.
But currently some operators work with the same keymap but in different contexts or with the same context but with PASS_THOUGH allowing more than one operator to run with the same command.
So it would not be something simple to implement.
