Looks like probably a bug in the lzo writer.  Remember an lzo is just  
gzipped.  If you rename your .lzo to .gz and unzip it, perhaps you  
will be able to see the error.  Or, if you tell me the recipe for  
building the lzo I can look at it for you.  My best guess is that  
there is an error in optimizer that removes unneeded whitespace and  
parens that results in it writing broken Javascript -- hence when it  
is read back in by the compiler you get an error.

I suppose a useful test you could write as part of your build process  
is to make sure that every lzo you create can be included in an empty  
test app.
