JSMin munges jQuery-IU 1.8rc3

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Minify version: 2.1.3
PHP version: 5.2.8

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I minified and compressed jquery-ui 1.8rc3 (the most recent version as of at 
least a week ago)
2. The script will not run because the minifier removed a space that made an 
increment operand 
invalid. Specifically, it removed from 
"this.cookie=this.options.cookie.name||"ui-tabs-"+ ++d" 
the space in "+ ++d", which made it look like "+++d" to the compiler.

Expected output: "+ ++d"

Actual output: "+++d"

Did any unit tests FAIL? NO

Please provide any additional information below. If this has to do with URI
rewriting, please include your DOCUMENT_ROOT.

I do not rewrite and URIs.

Is there a pre-minified (with YUICompressor) version you could use? The JSMin 
algorithm chokes on this syntax and there's not a whole lot we can do about it. 
The 
syntax is valid, but doesn't pass JSLint. +(++d) should work.
