Undocumented breaking change in v20170423: missing externs?

Reported in https://github.com/alexeagle/closure-compiler-angular-bundling/issues/30#issuecomment-300364464:

Upgrading from v20170409 to v20170423 breaks my program:

        return System.import(module)

Yeah its still a problem…

Why was this closed? Is the original issue, e.g.

node_modules/rxjs/util/root.js:8: ERROR - variable global is undeclared
else if (typeof global == 'object' && global.global === global) {
                ^^^^^^

No long a problem?
