Method: create a new blueprint while holding shift to bring up the blueprint settings screen. Set it to snap to grid, absolute. Create blueprint:

Now your blueprint will snap to grid according to the position of where you took the original from:

Press the toggle blueprint snap to grid hotkey 3 times. That will cycle through all 3 states (disabled, relative, absolute).

Now the blueprint grid doesn't align anymore:

Thanks for the report, but this is not a bug. Blueprints store the snap-to-grid "enabled" status as "whether or not the grid is set to 0x0". When you disable the grid, it's setting the grid size to zero. So this is "working as intended" even if it's not completely obvious.

I will look into improving this later as a feature request.
