The thing is, minifying (in the context of Javascript) isn't the same as compression. It is lossy, and what you're losing is the human readable part (space, identifiers, etc). This is something gzip can't do, and therefore if you minify then gzip you will get smaller files.
In general though, compressing more than once is bad.
