I have a little error in my description.

it should say:

..
> With same resolution on both displays import/export snapshot only wors when 
> the main display is set on the LEFT in System Preferences

So in short.

it works correctly when
- both displays have same resolution and the main display is set on the LEFT in 
System Preferences, but only if the snapshot is taken from the Main display

it doesn't work (no screenshot is taken) when
- the Main display has a lower resolution and is set on the RIGHT in System 
Preferences
- both displays have same resolution and the Main display is set on the RIGHT 
in System Preferences
- both displays have same resolution and the Main display is set on the LEFTin 
System Preferences and the snapshot is taken  from the 2nd display

it works somehow (a screenshot is taken, but not exactly what was in the 
rectangle) when
 - the Main display has a lower resolution and is set on the LEFT in System 
Preferences and snapshot is taken from the 2nd display
