It means you're getting garbled packets from the peer.

If it's persistent and doesn't correct itself over time, the most
plausible reason (I think) would be that you're using MPPE (MS
proprietary packet encryption) and there's a bug in that code.

If it just happens intermittently and then fixes itself, I'd ignore
it.  The cause would be dropped or corrupted packets and recovery by
the encryption code.
