Description
From @jdalton's comment at jsperf.com
Compiling won't work on iterators that contain a return statement because they will compile to exiting out of the while loop.
Using return in an iterator supplied to _.each() is equivalent to continue in a loop.

Research direction
Start by tracing the iterator compilation path described in the issue and compare how return statements are emitted with the behavior expected inside _.each(). Use the linked jsperf comment as context for the intended semantics. Done means a return in an iterator behaves like continue rather than exiting the generated while loop, with coverage for that case.
