TL;DR: It's nothing to do with Snap!; it's a question of how computers represent non-integers, and will likely give exactly the same answer in any programming language.
Concise answer for mathematicians: There are uncountably many real numbers, even in a finite range, and only countably many possible bit patterns in a computer.
Long answer: Long strings of 9s are the tip of the iceberg:
Note that that second example is off by three in the last decimal place, not just off by one. The underlying problem is that real numbers are dense, which means that between any two real numbers, no matter how close, there are infinitely many more numbers. Integers don't have this problem; there aren't any integers between 2 and 3.
What that means is that any pattern of bits inside the computer corresponds to infinitely many nearby numeric values. So, the bit pattern that represents 0.2 also represents values such as 0.199999999999999999999999999999999999999781 and 0.200000000000000000000000000000000004969. This doesn't bother you in a case like
even though you know that an exact answer would require infinitely many threes.
So, in the case of 0.2+0.4, the problem isn't that computers can't represent 0.6 exactly (although they can't); it's that they can't represent 0.2 exactly and can't represent 0.4 exactly. And, as it happens, the exact value near 0.2 that is representable is just slightly more than 0.2. And same for 0.4. And when the computer adds these two numbers, each of which is slightly too big, the sum is enough too big to be visible.
Perhaps you think, "But 0.2 isn't like 1/3; it just has two digits!" That's true in base ten, but it's not true in base two, which is how numbers are represented inside the computer. The numbers that are representable exactly in a computer are powers of two and sums of finitely many powers of two. So 0.25 = 1/4 = 2^(-2) is exactly representable in base two. But 0.2 = 1/5 isn't.
The 52 bits of precision in 64-bit floating point format are equivalent to between 15 and 16 decimal digits, so if you round off the result values above to 15 digits you should get the right answer:
Perhaps Snap! should just always do that, round every displayed result (not every internal result) to 15 digits, so we won't get questions like this so often. :~)
Extra credit: Rational numbers are dense, too; between any two rational numbers you can find another one. (For example, their average, halfway between, is rational too.) So the argument above about how every computer floating point value represents an infinite number of numbers in a small range applies to rationals, too. But, because of what it means for a number to be rational, it is possible to represent rationals exactly. Instead of using a decimal fraction, you represent it as two integers, the numerator and denominator of the fraction. But that doesn't work for real numbers in general.
