I recommend using the "ghostery" firefox plugin. It removes google analytics
and many more "trackers" whithout breaking the site you are looking at. I
always had the same problem you had with noscript, now I use both noscript and
ghostery and I never have this problem any more.

And, yes, I still think everybody using Google Analytics in the EU is violating
not only my right to privacy but EU laws and they should stop, but hey, I can't
change what you do, I can only change what I do. :-)
