Comment (by westonruter):

 I recall this issue coming up in the past in relation to inline `//`
 comments being used in some inline scripts, where some naïve
 minification/concatenation logic would remove newlines, causing the
 comment to comment-out the initial line of the subsequently-concatenated
 script. If all of the scripts were adding the `sourceURL` comment with
 multi-line comments like was done for CSS, then this should fix the issue.
 Alternatively, a newline could be printed at the end of the inline
 comment, which should fix the issue with `load-scripts.php`.

 So instead of:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $output .= sprintf(
     "\n//# sourceURL=%s",
     rawurlencode( "{$handle}-js-extra" )
 );
 }}}

 Do:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $output .= sprintf(
     "\n/*# sourceURL=%s */",
     rawurlencode( "{$handle}-js-extra" )
 );
 }}}

 Or:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $output .= sprintf(
     "\n//# sourceURL=%s\n",
     rawurlencode( "{$handle}-js-extra" )
 );
 }}}
