Diagnoses
The issue was caused by corrupt SmartObject from the source environment. When clicking on Finish during editing this SmartObject in source environment, the same error was thrown.
Resolution
Updating SmartObject definition by stepping through all method wizards in this SmartObject from K2 Designer, and was able to click Finish editing the SmartObject. After SmartObject definition has been corrected, recreating the package, and was able to deploy successfully.
