Answer 2

The main distribution of jQuery is not compatible with Closure-compiler ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS. To use the main build of jQuery you must reference the appropriate jQuery extern file in the Closure-compiler contrib folder.

I have an experimental jQuery 1.9.1 build which IS compatible with ADAVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS. It is available on my GitHub account.

A version of the jQuery 2.0.x branch that is compatible is under development, but not yet complete.
