Had a similar issue today but with a different package. Getting "invalid BXL stream from MSSQL stored procedure.

This looks like a memory issue - which has also been suggested causes the "invalid BXL stream" error. However, my issue turned out to be the fact that the dependencies for the packages had not been installed correctly (perhaps you are working through a proxy?).
