I don't know why the files are not parsed for translatable strings... but the files are not generated.

For repro simply clean up your files/language directory, reload the page and nothing is regenerated. Same happens when you re-import your language package with l10n_client.

If you enable JS compression the files are written to disk. If i disable JS compression after generation the files are kept. I have no idea when this files are updated or written. I have never deleted them by hand in past, but after l10n_client have re-imported a language i saw some JS strings not translated and started to investigate what could be wrong... what ended in guessing...

They are only parsed when invalidated. If you find more issues when they are not invalidated, you need similar fixes such as http://drupal.org/node/305920 but we need a concrete cause.
