Adding z-levels to the map did not update client-side map dimensions properly.
BYOND Version:509.1303
Operating System:Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Web Browser:Chrome 45.0.2454.101
Applies to:Webclient
Status: Resolved (509.1304)

This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary:

When teleporting to a freshly-created z level, the webclient will display a black screen. Once the client has exited the new z level, the screen will begin rendering again. This behavior happens exclusively on the webclient, I should clarify.

Code:

world.maxz = 5
loc = locate(1, 1, 5)


I also went back to BYOND 508 and this wasn't an issue. Once I have more time to manually test each BYOND version one by one backwards to see where the issue cropped up.

This had to have been an issue in 508.1299; the code responsible for the problem appears to have existed since DSification.
