I don't see the problem. Unless the error is

the error with the minified version with a useless line number and

I was assuming that minify=0 would be a parameter for the combining
script, not the whole page, but of course the latter could be done
too. It seems prudent to make it optional anyway, though.
I am a Internet newbie, so maybe I don't understand the problem.
Desktop programmers often distribute his applications as binary
compiled form version of his SRC files.
I don't see what is the problem to distribute a application webpage
has a binary file.. or a ofuscated file-optimized file. If having a
separate (keyword here is: separate) download for the SRC files. Has
programmers of Desktop applications have a separate folder labeled
"SRC" with the SRC files of any binary distribution program.
Two folders:
src/<all the SRC files goes here>
bin/alljs_20081002.js
bin/.htwhateverconfig
You can have a make process that recreate that alljs_<build date
here>.js from the SRC files.
The .htwhateverconfig make Apache send the right expiration http
headers, so browsers are forced to cache a file called
alljs_20081002.js forever (or til 2012).
I know you can still have poeple that may need the un-ofuscated
original (not compiled) src. But he!.. developping sould work on a
beta server or something, not on production. People geek enough to
need the original src files, could google about it, and download the
full src/ folder or something alike.
