So you end up with a user who says the problem goes away when they
enable debug. Yet they can't provide useful debugging info with the
failing version because it's all garbled minification output.

May I suggest an alternative perspective with respect to line
numbering:  Destroying line numbers doesn't reduce the post-gzipped
size by much, it does not seem worth it.
