I had the same problem. Actually I found that you do not need an AMD compliant Backbone or Underscore, or require-jquery or anything else (e.g. !order). All you need to do to is have app defined in paths and than set its dependencies in shim :). Somehow it used to work without it in the past.

paths: {
    app:'app',
    jquery: '../libs/jquery/jquery.1.9.1.min',
    underscore: '../libs/underscore/underscore.min',
    backbone: '../libs/backbone/backbone.min', 
    // ...
},
shim: {
 "app": {
      deps: ['jquery','underscore','backbone'],
      exports: 'app'  
},
"backbone": {
  deps: ['jquery','underscore'],
  exports: 'Backbone'  
},
"underscore": {
  exports: '_'
}
//...

}
