Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.4 on OS X 10.7.4 - snapping works the same as in 0.48.3.1 and earlier bug fix releases of 0.48.

Did you adjust the snap preferences and the snap settings for the current document on the snap controls bar as needed?

You need to activate snap targets on the snap controls bar to define 'what' snaps to the grid (e.g. cusp or smooth nodes, rotation center, text anchor, etc.), when moving an existing object with the mouse while having the grid visible.

That depends on your preference settings for snapping (Inkscape Preferences > Snapping):
- '[x] Only snap node closest to the pointer' (off by default)
- Weight factor: determines which solution to prefer when multiple snap solutions are found

Which version is "previous" referring to? Could you attach such sample files?
