I'm taking this. I understand the problem (we were looking at goog.global completely backwards), and a fix will require some language (or at least ns) magic.
goog.global resolves to something undefined in advanced mode when not in the browser. This prevents us from using e.g. goog.global.String
We should experiment with --use_only_custom_externs=true flag for these builds. The book also mentions:
