It's not isolated to iOS. Snapchat does something funky in userland.

I think on the Nexus 4, Snapchat still ships with a warning that it doesn't work properly.

Mine would reboot about every second time I took a picture.

I haven't investigated the issue, but I've heard that it was indeed a bug with the Nexus 4 drivers that caused the crash.

Still, I've got to wonder, what are they doing that's so different than other camera apps that seem to work fine?

Not using the Camera API for starters, last I checked they still took a screenshot of the viewfinder on Android.

Interesting. I had similar problems on my Samsung several years ago when I was trying Snapchat out. I uninstalled and never returned..
