Hans I sent a pull request #16 which fixes this problem.

The problem is that jquery is being processed by the babel transpiler when it shouldn't, the "skip" configuration specifies to ignore all scripts in node_modules, these skip configuration strings get regexed and they use forward-slash directory separators which wont match the back-slash directory separators in windows environments; so the skip settings regex do not match and are ignored. By normalizing all paths to use forward-slash directory separators (by using -slash()-) all node_modules scripts are skipped by the babel transpiler and the error is gone.

I had to seen this issue,and as this error:The code generator has deoptimised the styling of "xxx/xxx/templates.js as it exceeds the max of 500KB " when a templates.js document was packaged for webpack.So I found some method to resolve it. I know a truthful thing Because we could use the different program frames.
You can find gulpfile.js and search the word "babelify", exmaple :

bundler.transform("babelify", { "compact": false,presets: ["es2015"] });

you can see above setting ,I only added "compact":false, Hope to help you.
