Agreed: I have definitely set the snap grid,
but I wonder now whether I did that right at the beginning or
one or two placings later.

The snap grid may be finer than the 2.54mm. It is a
while since i used KiCad, but IIRC the visible grid is seperate
to the snap grid.
I set the grid to 2.54 mm, but some
parts are not snapped to the grid when first placed. If
I try to move one, it then snaps, but It seems that I
can place one 'off-grid' and not notice that. I do know
that some parts use metric spacing, but I don't have any
of them.

Kicad alway snaps to grid in pcbnew
you just set the grid size option in the menu
Be aware that some footprints a not based on imperial 0.1
grid nut use metric, the newer and components are often in
a metric grid spacing
