Description
If $GOPATH/src/github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs/js happens to exist at the time GopherJS is compiled, this version of the package is used rather than the version embedded in the virtual file system. This can lead to an unusable gopherjs binary, in the case of mismatched versions.

Research direction
Trace how GopherJS resolves the js package during compilation when $GOPATH/src/github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs/js exists, and compare that path with the embedded virtual filesystem version. Reproduce the mismatch and verify that compilation consistently uses the embedded version, with a regression check showing the resulting gopherjs binary remains usable.
