I noticed that my electron program fails to start because it can't find preload.js. Looking at the webpack-compiled bundle, I found that the culprit must be electron-timber, since it's the only module that looks for preview.js. Here's the output:
[26945:0728/234248.108082:ERROR:CONSOLE(164)] "Unable to load preload script: /home//projects/electron/nuclear/release/linux-unpacked/resources/app.asar/dist/preload.js", source: /home//projects/electron/nuclear/release/linux-unpacked/resources/electron.asar/renderer/init.js (164)

It loads fine in debug build. What prevents it from running in production build?
