I am using SOAP::Lite on lenny (without the patch) which acts as a client.
The server is a .NET monster (which is maintained by a 3rd party).

About a month ago my code using this service broke with the same message.
(Because the server side did not send the message my code expected.)

I added checks
if( ref $something eg 'HASH' ) { ... }
to the code to avoid the code path which would access hash elements.

So I do not consider the referenced debian bugreport classification as grave
right.
Working it around on the client side is possible.
(and maybe is the right thing to do)
