As explained in #11971, the first comment is sometimes removed while it shouldn't. Consider the following snippet from the issue:
The bug occurs during the transformation of the AST. When the
ImportDeclarationnode is removed, its leading comment should be transferred to one of its new sibling nodes. And it pretty much does unless you want to compile for IE 11 or lower which causes some extra JavaScript code to be generated in the top of the file.This results in a failure in two if statements. The comment will be added to the previous node if the removed node doesn't have a next node or to the next node if it doesn't have a previous node. If it has both a previous and a next node, then the comment is simply discarded.
