Correct, the particular system I encountered this minification issue has an Ant-based build (which calls r.js for concatenation and minification).

I'll have to check on your compile suggestion. I tried lots of things, including using the postLink etc. Do you have an example?

Here's an example using the jQuery UI draggable plugin: http://jsfiddle.net/marknutter/hSbjX/4/

Thanks! I also just found out about angular-ui-utils, where they have a generic pass-thru directive for initializing jQuery plugins. Interestingly, they opted to use $timeout inside the compile function: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-utils/blob/master/modules/j...

Wonder why that is, are there cases that would otherwise break?

I'm not sure, that's a good question.
