The minification actually makes the stylesheet bigger.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a input.css file:
---------------
#first, #second, #third {
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    color: #ff0000;
    background-color: #00ff00;
}
#second {
    width: 105px;
}
---------------

2. Run: java -jar closure-stylesheets.jar --output-file output.css input.css

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected (and YUI Compressor achieves this), 100 bytes:
---------------
#first,#second,#third{width:100px;height:100px;color:#f00;background-color:#0f0}
#second{width:105px}
---------------

With Closure I get a 204 byte file instead (original was 138!):
---------------
#first{width:100px;height:100px;color:#f00;background-color:#0f0}#second{height:
100px;color:#f00;background-color:#0f0}#third{width:100px;height:100px;color:#f0
0;background-color:#0f0}#second{width:105px}
---------------

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

I'm using the initial release, SHA1 5d8092ec7287f8b05b41ff71f52ff2dc0576f414

Windows 7 64bit SP1

Please provide any additional information below.

This sucks big time.

When gzipped (you are gzipping right?) the size for both the yahoo and google 
compressed files is the same: 99B

Does NOT suck big time. I assume google is targeting the best minification for 
gzipped files (as they do with the closure js library)
