So I did look into this a bit. Looks like esbuild is stripping out comments but leaving the {} intact which is invalid JSX. Still thinking through a fix... esbuild doesn't allow comment preservation AFAICT.

Just picked this back up and it seems to be working, not sure what was going on in the older version.
