Could you try the latest (unreleased) stable version (1.1.3-RC3)?
It's available here:
<http://wpkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wpkg/wpkg/stable/1.1/wpkg.js?revision=118>

In fact I think the code to read XML files has not been altered since a very
long time and you seem to be the first one having troubles with it.

Does this happen on all nodes or just on a few?

Could it be network related?

Can you post or send me a full debug log of WPKG? Any exceptions printed?
If there are exceptions we might catch them and retry reading the file if an
error occurs.

Probably it's about the format or encoding of the XML file(s). If you're able to
identify a specific file where it happens you could send it to the list for
analysis.
Without any reproducible use-case it's difficult to identify any problem.
