Intersection osnap does not find the intersection.

You are trying to snap to an intersection of two line entities but AutoCAD doesn't snap to the intersection point, despite both objects appear to intersect in 2D (and APPINT works fine).

Make sure both objects really exactly intersect in 2D - they may lay in different UCSs or their "zero" Z-coordinates may be just rounded values. Try to temporarily set LUPREC to 8 and issue the LIST command to check exact coordinates.
