"Illegal character" stops syntax highlighting and errors searching

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Write code:
var a = 1;
var b b = 2;
var c c = 3;
var d = 4;
#
var e = 5;
var f f = 6;

2. Try to search for all errors (C-x ')
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: cursor position will cycle throw lines 2, 3, 5, 7. Also, lines 6
and 7 must be highlighted.
I see: cursor position cycles throw lines 2, 3, 5 but not line 7. Also,
lines 6 and 7 aren't highlighted.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

This also happens with the Unicode BOF marker (0xEF, 0xBB). Not sure if your 
js2 mode should be ignoring it or 
emacs should filter it. I am on Aquaemacs 1.3, Mac OS 10.5.

As of the 20080413 release, you can set js2-skip-preprocessor-directives to t to
treat # as a comment character, which solves part of this problem.

I still need to make the scanner not throw an error when illegal characters are
encountered - it should just skip them and flag them.
