This was recently clarified in the documentation by changing:
| [...] as of the start of the transaction, [...]
to:
| [...] as of the start of the first non-transaction-control
| statement in the transaction, [...]
We don't acquire the snapshot at START TRANSACTION time because it
may be necessary to acquire locks or set transaction properties
(e.g., READ ONLY) before the snapshot is acquired. You could force
acquisition of a snapshot by running a short query (e.g., SELECT
1;) in session 1 before starting the transaction in session 2.
