MQTT newbie troubles

I'm publishing the same topic over and over again, using the node mqtt module on my computer, and occasionally I'm getting incomplete data printed out in Espruino. I assume the Espruino MQTT code is to blame because the client matched on the topic, yet the output doesn't match.

  "dup": 0, "qos": 0, "retain": 0 }
