I doubt there's a substantial
difference in the size depending on whether you include newlines or
not. But benchmarking's the only way to test, right? The evidence
that minification helps for large amounts of JS are fairly unequivocal
(see, e.g., Steve Souders' "High Performance Websites").
Why don't we benchmark this on the actual MediaWiki JS?

I don't think the current set of javascript will benefit from this
effort as much as _future_ set of javascript. ie future libraries will
contain many thousands of lines distributed over dozens of files rather
than hundreds of lines over a handful of js files.
