Comment (by TobiasBg):

 Besides what I mentioned above, this also tries to validate JS files in
 npm modules of plugins in `wp-content` (e.g. if they also use `grunt`) --
 which results in errors like
 {{{
 >> Line 2: Unexpected token :
 Validating build/wp-content/plugins/<my_plugin_slug>/node_modules/grunt-
 contrib-csslint/node_modules/csslint/cli.js
 }}}

 Thus, we should exclude `wp-content` here (for which I uploaded a patch).
 (Drawback: Core themes would aso be exlcuded.)
 Other options could be to just `jsvalidate` `.min.js` files (which is what
 this ticket was intended for, I think), although that would also check
 `.min.js` files in plugins.
 An even better solution might be to check just the files that were created
 by `uglify`. My tries with `<%= uglify.core.dest %>` failed however.
