Thanks for the update. jquery.bxslider.min.js in my case is not part of application.js
I have added jquery.bxslider.min.js to pre-compile path also, so that it can be loaded independently. Its available in public/assets folder too. You said "I'm not surprised it is re-compiling the source code at runtime."..I totally agree. However that should happen when browser request that very particular asset, not while creating page response that has <script src="jquery.bxslider.min.js"></script> in the markup. Am I going astray here in making you understand the issue. Let me know.
