For the benefit of searchers looking to solve a similar problem, you can get a similar error if your input is an empty string.
e.g.
var d = "";
var json = JSON.parse(d);
or if you are using AngularJS
var d = "";
var json = angular.fromJson(d);
In chrome it resulted in 'Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input', but Firebug showed it as 'JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data'.
Sure most people won't be caught out by this, but I hadn't protected the method and it resulted in this error.
