js_load fails in nginx

Adding js_import lol.js, with lol.js being an empty (or even with valid js inside) file makes nginx sad:

~ # nginx -t
nginx: [emerg] failed to create js VM
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
~ # 

Relevant versions/info:

~ # cat /etc/nginx/modules/10_http_js.conf
