Alright,to answer my own question.

Normally a JSON parser strips out these problem characters, because I was retrieving JSONP I wasn't using a JSON parser, in stead the browser tried to parse the JSON itself as soon as the callback was called.

The only way to fix it was to make sure the server never returns these characters when requesting a JSONP resource.

p.s. My question was about u2028, according to Douglas Crockford's json2 library all of the following characters can cause these problems:

'\u0000\u00ad\u0600-\u0604\u070f\u17b4\u17b5\u200c-\u200f\u2028-\u202f\u2060-\u206f\ufeff\ufff0-\uffff'
