Jens, even with source maps in Chrome, I've been unable to get stack traces to work. They still print out poorly in production when an exception is hit - the exceptions ignore the source maps entirely. I asked previously if there is a way around it, but apparently it's a known issue - so I don't think SourceMaps solve this problem yet.
That said, the size and speed overhead here is terrible and most people would avoid something that adds that much overhead in production (although it would be great in development). What GWT needs here is something closer to what you get with proguard - a mapping file created during compilation that could be used to run the obfuscated/javascript exception through a utility to give the correct stack trace with zero overheads. I'm not entirely sure on how proguard accomplishes it, but I'd say it would be the perfect solution.
