I didn't know that SpiderMonkey did that, but I agree it is better. In light of this news, I'm glad my code sample doesn't work ;).
As for "would be good for all engines to act the same", the precondition was carefully crafted so that engines did not need to retain the original source, but rather, just enough for behavioral equivalence. Nevertheless, if we could get everyone to agree on SpiderMonkey's behavior here, it would be better. Too late for ES6 though.
