is that really a clue? damn I wish I could play SL on my work

anyway looks like coordinates to me, but they are too big.
Maybe use the new getSImulatorInfo or whatever function and see if you can get more info on the general coordinates of the sim.
Maybe if you see the SIM at 0,0 on the map as the start, and count coordinates taking all sims together (like sim is 256 long, then coordinate 300 would be on 44 on the second SIM)
just some general thoughts

maybe this clue is actually a aprils fools joke and I'm being ignorant

Hehe when lindens say: piece the parts together they mean it litterally. Here is the first and the second image pieced together, you can already see what the screenshot is gonna look like. the third image you posted here is not usable.. it has to be the original texture of 1024x512 like the first two.
Post the hints and I will combine them

blah, my 3 must have been corrupt or something, I asked Kex to convert it because I didn't have Targa support, I think it got lost somewhere in the transfer, I blame my mail server, I'll also prod Adam Zaius to put up his photo combination x.x

No the coordinates and other stuff is all misleading, it's not important. the thing is that inside the texts on the pictures there is a part of the screenshot. If you only take the non-green parts of all the pictures and combine them you will get the complete screenshot of the 2.0 render.

If the coordinates are misleading then why is the second image at the exact coordinates from the first image? and the third at the coordinates of the second image??
Of course this stops with the third unless you can get world coordinates from b3n 15 1337.

I was doing coordinate translation with Oz, Torley and SteveR, like I said, Kitsune Decoder Ring, I found the coordinates by simple math, look to llGetRegionCorner in the LSL Wiki to figure out what I did... not giving more than that till this is over with.

So the coordinates lead to the next picture? And what about the other screenshot with the text b3n 14 1337 (or whatever it sais?)
Wish I could go in SL right now, wanna solve the puzzle and see the screeshot complete

aprils fools? Well there is screenshot inside the green pictures, but ehhh if it were a normal screenshot from the current render engine... ehh yeah aprils fools!

let's hope that isn't so..
