No bug involved (apart from the obvious bug that you supply the
arguments for sprintf() yet try to call snprintf()),

The field width includes everything that is eventually generated by
the format specifier, so the "0x" is always included in the field
width, and already occupies the entire output field except in the 0
case.  Any actual data to be formatted thus has to overflow the output
field.

The 0 case is different, as ISO/IEC 9899:1999 requires the
implementation to not generate the 0x prefix in that case:

# The result is converted to an ``alternative form''. [...] For x (or
  X) conversion, a nonzero result has 0x (or 0X) prefixed to it. [...]

Thus, the output field is sufficient, and as the '0' flag has been
given, it is zero-padded to the left, resulting in "00".

There are numerous errors around the minimum field with specifier and padding with leading zeros. The test case below is the result of using the floating-point (full) version
of the printf code.

---
#include <stdio.h>

int
main(int argc, const char** argv)
{
    char        buf[128];
   
    snprintf(buf, "%#02x", 0);          //  Writes "00"
    snprintf(buf, "%#02x", 1);          //  Writes "0x1"
    snprintf(buf, "%#02x", 0xb1);       //  Writes "0xb1"
   
   
    return 0;
}
