I suppose this should be related to and fixed in the current trunk version. Sorry for duplicating this bug :-/ Please verify this and comment on this issue.

TeamCity project suffers from this problem as well: http://www.jetbrains.net/tracker/issue2/TW-6100

No, the same problem still happens.
I couldn't find the oficial release of 3.0.5, so I downloaded the SVN:
http://svn.igniterealtime.org/svn/repos/smack/trunk
And used ANT to build everything.
I still get:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Name is null
at java.lang.Enum.valueOf(Enum.java:191)
at org.jivesoftware.smack.packet.RosterPacket$ItemType.valueOf(RosterPacket.java:268)
at org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketReader.parseRoster(PacketReader.java:697)
at org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketReader.parseIQ(PacketReader.java:582)

at org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketReader.access$000(PacketReader.java:44)
at org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketReader$1.run(PacketReader.java:76)
And I connect to GTalk, so I assume the bug is in SMACK....

I just wanted to note that I get this exception when connecting to GoogleTalk:
new ConnectionConfiguration("talk.google.com", 5222, "gmail.com");
Assuming GoogleTalk adheres to the spec, then the bug must be in SMACK.
Instead of disconnecting, SMACK should give a callback to the user who can write a custom error handling routine.
If there is an error in the server side by adding a new contact, Smack raises an exception that makes Spark goes down.

These are the stanzas that cause the error:
