This issue occurs on trunk nightly.

Consider this simple code.
. console.log("He said 'I can\'t load a file'");

Before pretty printing, it works
> console.log("He said 'I can\'t load a file'");


After pretty printing, it doesn't run  and error is displayed.
> console.log('He said 'I can't load a file'');

This should have been fixed in bug 956567. Are you using the most up to date nightly?

I get valid output in the latest Nightly:

> console.log('He said \'I can\'t load a file\'');
