Creating Package Action in OpenWhisk, invocation fails with error message

I'm following the example in the documentation for OpenWhisk to create a new Package Action, detailed here.

Running the wsk action invoke step, the platform returns me an invocation error message.

[10:57:58 /tmp/workshop]$ wsk action invoke --blocking --result packageAction --param lines '[ "and now", "for something completely", "different" ]'
{
    "error": "Initialization has failed due to: SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token
      at NodeActionRunner.init (/nodejsAction/runner.js:79:29)
      at doInit (/nodejsAction/src/service.js:134:31)
      at initCode (/nodejsAction/src/service.js:80:24)
      at /nodejsAction/app.js:62:13
      at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (/nodejsAction/node_modules/express/lib/router/layer.js:95:5)
      at next (/nodejsAction/node_modules/express/lib/router/route.js:131:13)
      at Route.dispatch (/nodejsAction/node_modules/express/lib/router/route.js:112:3)\n    at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (/nodejsAction/node_modules/express/lib/router/layer.js:95:5)\n    at /nodejsAction/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:277:22\n    at Function.process_params (/nodejsAction/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:330:12)"
}

What's going wrong?

Package Actions is a new feature of the platform.

Ensure you have upgraded your OpenWhisk CLI to the latest version to support this feature. This bug can occur when using an older version of the cli to deploy package actions.

You can verify which version of the CLI you are running with the following command.

[14:49:21 /tmp/workshop]$ wsk property get
whisk auth      xxxx:xxx
whisk API host      openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net
whisk API version   v1
whisk namespace     [email protected]
whisk CLI version   2016-10-24T11:55:02+00:00
whisk API build     2016-10-24T12:04:22Z
whisk API build number  whisk-build-1260

Ensure that the CLI version matches or is greater than the version above.
