This is an old problem that I just ran across myself. This error happens if jslint reads the file using the wrong encoding. Try specifying the encoding property and setting it to utf8 See below.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jslint-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-cli</id>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<jar>${jslint.jar}</jar>
<options>${jslint.options}</options>
<predef>${jslint.predef}</predef>
<sourceJsFolder>
${basedir}/src/main/js
</sourceJsFolder>
<!-- Sets the encoding of the js files beign read -->
<encoding>utf8</encoding>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
