Bug with the latest security updated - compressed script files don't work

I tried reporting this in the "send feedback" section but I keep getting "page not found". 

This bug was introduced in the latest security fix released on Aug 12th 

If you have script tag on a page and the server sends the script as a compressed gzip format; the script fails to load. The sever is setting the correct Content type (application/x-javascript) and the content encoding (gzip).

Here's a sample that demonstrates the problem. The following two links do the exact same thing. Click on the "Click me" button on the page and the script fills the textbox. The second link, however, loads the script file in zip encoded format and fails to work in Internet Explorer. It works in other browsers and works in IE11 prior to recent security updates.
