Pattern preservation within script tags

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a JSP tag between <script> tags
2. Turn on JSP preservation pattern and Javascript compression
3. Compile HTML with step 1 done to it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'm getting an error as follows:
Apr 14, 2011 12:21:13 AM com.google.javascript.jscomp.LoggerErrorManager println
SEVERE: :15: ERROR - Parse error. syntax error
        <%%%COMPRESS~USER0~0%%%>

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 1.2 on Windows Vista

Please provide any additional information below.
This looks like a thorny one. Closure Compiler doesn't like the placeholder but 
something will be necessary. Perhaps wrapping the placeholder in an alert that 
closure compiler will leave alone.

I don't think I can come up with a solution here. Wrapping temp placeholder 
with alert wouldn't help because jsp insert could be in such place that placing 
alert would cause js error as well.

I will think about it some more, but most likely this bug will remain 
unsolved...

That's why I listed jsp compression under bad practices :P 

Thanks.
