I think this bug boild down to a simple programming mistake.
It stops working if the reference points (corner or center) are outside the viewport.
You can easily test this by drawing 2 very long rectangles.
As soon as you zoom into a section in a way that no corner or center points are on the screen, smart guides loose their wits.
I absolutely can reproduce this according to the above rule set.
Try this one:
1) Create a A4 document and draw 2 high rectangles taking up the whole format.
2) Keep the zoom at 100%.
3) Now, resize and scroll the viewport (the document window) in a way that neither corner nor centerpoints of these 2 rectangles are visible.
4) smart guides are effectively outsmarted by this.
