I am running J602 without problems under MacOS X 10.6.5 I don't quite understand the nature of your problem. But I'm unable to see your screen shots. (But I'm not surprised, as these get stripped off when posting to a J forum.) Are you saying that you've consulted this: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/System/Installation/Mac/MacSnowLeopardInstallBug and it doesn't help?
