Isn't the latest snapshot something like 13w07a? Since it's the snapshot you should probably just file a bug report: https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC

Wrong snapshot, my friend.

Make sure you check www.mojang.com for the latest snapshot and not some other site.

Or just download it with this handy widget:
