That's a critical bit of info. Once you move the insertion point outside of the enclosing angle brackets, the "mirroring magic" will be permanently gone. Although its not visible, the editor (or perhaps the text in question) is in a special state when it's first created by the "^-<" keystroke.
Speaking of which, maybe could maybe be some sort of indication when in one of the placeholders of a snippet. It's sometimes hard to tell when you can shift-tab back and when you can't.
Also, I quite often use undo when I'm in a snippet, and find myself knocked out of the snippet state. A request: undo shouldn't take me out of snippet mode. It's disorienting and sometimes necessitates going further so I can start the snippet over again.
