Yes, I ran into the same problem, and Apple-ism seems to be a good term for this issue :)

It works this way:

• Select (or highlight) the code your want to turn into a snippet
• EDIT: Click and hold (do not drag!) on any part of the selected text for a short moment (like 2 seconds, sometimes 8 seconds)
• EDIT: The mouse cursor will change icon (not on El Capitan).
