To have that sort of optimisation you'll have to run the Closure compiler with ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS enabled.
Last time I checked that mode of compilation didn't work with JQuery and not with most other libraries. To use it with your own code you'll have to follow certain rules.
I think most people just use uglify or the Closure compiler in SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS, neither of which does the very advanced stuff of ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS.
