Thanks to Kalen Johnson’s answer to a similar question, I finally got this working. See my comment on Gulp minifyCss and CSS Special Comments.
Basically, it required changing the following line in Sage’s gulpfile.js:
.pipe($.concat, filename)
to:
.pipe(function(filename) {
return $.concat(filename, {newLine: ';'});
}, filename)
I’m not 100% sure it’s the correct way, but it seems to work.
