If you've already added the ecmascript package another issue that can trigger this kind of error output is incorrect usage of ES6+ features.

For example, redeclaring a variable within the same scope or trying to re-assign to a variable declared with const.

It's a horrible error output, but it basically means the transpiler can't parse the file and create an AST properly.

This error occurs if you don't add ecmascript packages. I think (not sure), this is added by default for newer projects but needs to be added explicitly when updating from previous versions of meteor. Try adding this package using,

meteor add ecmascript

Last time, I also faced similar problem, I came to know about it from this link.
