For others reading this:
This is a bug in the new snapping feature that causes a problem when any layer in the composition is scaled to 0%.
This is fixed in the After Effects CC (12.1) update, due out this month.

That is virtually always because they have cached frames to RAM before that step.
Because After Effects has a cache that keeps you from ever needing to re-render anything, simply practicing a tutorial once before recording it for real will ensure that you have smooth scrubbing the next time through.
