You should at least test the code with the fall-through condition added and see if that gets the script to run without reporting the warning (its not an error) about the unintialized variable. If it does not get rid of the warning you will know my suggestion is wrong, but if it does then your assumption of what is causing the warning could be wrong. And please note, it is a warning, not an error. Sometimes variables do have the chance of being uniitialized, which is why a default or fall-through condition is almost always a good idea.
Also, writing neat and readable code during constructions is very important, that is no excuse for writing sloppy code. Slopy code always makes tracking down bugs much harder than it should be. Its very good though that you are using "strict" and I assume "warnings".
